1,2,4 or 6 will all do the job, but if you only have angle, fitting and welding the crosses will be unnecessarily hard work.
Given the height and the weight, I'd favour 6 with single diagonals and with the base flared out to about a 700mm square, but if you have something to bolt the base to...
That, but also it allows the unloader valve to vent the pump when it cuts out so that when the pump starts next time, it starts with no pressure load.
The unloader valve venting the pipework is the 'pshhhh' you hear when the pump cuts out at full operating pressure. Since the OP seems fairly...

Oh wow, that's fairly catastrophic! I presume it's been crashed at some point in its life and stuck back together, though the heads on the t bolts look generous - far bigger than on my mk2 bantam.
There's a lad in Louth on ebay that used to have a fair few Bantams breaking for spares, but not...

It's now stuck on 236A and the...
