5lb CO2 mounts?

I am looking for inspiration on different ways to mount my homemade 5lb CO2 bottle in my rig.

Anyone have pics, ideas, thoughts?

yeah I have gone back and forth on that....cant decide. I don't have a cargo barrier and I am somewhat worried about having a wreck at 70mph. Will the quick fists hold a bottle full of CO2 and keep it from braining me?:drool:

That looks exactly like a smaller scale of my Ultimate Air 10# tank bracket. It holds the tank securely.

But how much utility does a 5# tank give you?

Quickfists and GIANT zipties..

I've got a 10lb fire extinguisher mounted on my trailer.. Was kinda worried about punk *** kids lifting it and blowing it off for the heck of it.. Mounted it in it's straps and then tied the holder latch and the pin in place with zip ties as well as the bottle itself..

If you need it you can pretty easily rip the zips loose if you've got a bit of adrenalin flowing, but it'll hopefully be enough extra to help hold it in place and keep grubby kid hands off it.

I can air up my tires about 40 times before I need a refill. It's is more than enough for me on trips less than two weeks. I don't run air tools off of it so I really don't need that big of a tank. I could go bigger if I wanted, I just like the small size, its easy to store.
