Have you tried any of your local welders? I know some of our local guys will do small projects with their scrap for cheap if they're slow. Basically all you need is a couple of pieces of steel flat stock welded together. You could bend two pieces bent to wrap around your crossbars or even use some clamps from Lowe's.
Heck, if you're really cheap just stick it in an Rubbermaid Action Packer and strap that to the roof.

Is there room on the back to mount a blitz can holder?
They make adapters to bolt this to an external spare tire. Con-ferr, KAYMAR, and ORU are a few.
This is the cheapest route.
Kaymar and Adventure Trailers make a universal basket type that works with most cans.
Blitz has a basket that works with metal cans. You need metal locking brackets if you don't want them stolen.
NATO cans are the best. Difficult to get. And $$$.

While its not my prefered placement for various reasons, I have little concerns with transporting a secured Scepter can inside of the cab of my Land Cruiser. If your tanks leak or have the potential to leak, its a no brainer... leave them outside. However if you have readily tested your cans and are confident with its ability to stay leak free, don't do it.

I kept inside this past weekend on the Swell trip with no problems.

Just my $0.02, take it for what it is worth, but I would think it would be easier and cheaper to spring for a couple quality jerry cans than to start fabbing and/or buying additional brackets. I started with Blitz cans and they made me a little jerry can shy. Now I have good quality cans (insert joke in poor taste here) and and haven't though twice about them.
