Propane tank bracket/straps

[CoastalDefender]

A while back I saw a guy with an M416 style trailer build. Something struck my eye, and I want to incorporate the idea into my build (now that my build is in full swing).

It was a propane tank strap that he had welded/bolted on the driver's rear quarterpanel of his trailer. Now, the standard 20lb tank is too dang big and heavy for that location, so he did it with a 10lb or 5lb mini tank. Ingenious and puts the tank right where I would like it.

At any rate, the tank is easy enough to get, my local hardware store has one for $50.

I'm having a difficult time finding a strap/bracket that I can use for the build though. I would like to find on that has a single strap around the middle, with a small lip on the bottom to hold it from slipping out.

Pretty sure Rezarf's build incorporates something like that which he made up himself. If that build isn't here it's on MUD.

What I would suggest searching for is a T-bolt style "hose clamp" that has the quick detach feature. Something like those on the bottom of the page here:

Here is what I did... all my pics are gone on this site, not really sure what happened.

How about a Quick Fist?
