Brackets instead of straps?

[Atlas]

Have anyone replaced the straps holding the Dil and O2 bottles in place with a bracket?
If so what kind and does it work well?

why? the straps holding are so comfortable, lightweight and versatile

 

[Atlas]

Lightweight I can agree upon. But weight is not an issue.
Versatile maybe but I would like it moore so.

Richard has been fiddling with brackets, although on the outside of his 7L so a bit different application than your request. But the Megalodon shadow mount is supposedly pretty nice, and would probably work fine on the canister as well.

Anyone tried these ?

Yep , ive got them on my Kent tooling box .
Even with 7ltr steel on boards they are rock solid and super quick and easy to use.

John is extemely helpful and knowledgeable .
He will sort you out with any goodies you need for your set up

Just be really careful with Al-Al or Al-SS galvanic corrosion. Happens quickly.

Not on a JJ, but on my Meg, I use the nothern diver's pony clamp : Pony Clamp System Complete - Northern Diver
I'm happy with them. I use 4L steel cylinders.

Brackets are OK if you only have two cylinders but when you have six it gets expensive or a PITA swapping them over all the time.

I prefer the straps but no reasion not to have brackets, just the hassel or expense.

I have used the KT brackets in the past. Just like all Johns stuiff they were bomb proof. Id get the small one as they are quite heavy.

I have some problems with straps (Cam bands), they tend to change in lenght in water so tanks squizing lower (TR300c CCR), does it happen to anyone straps prolonge in water?

To me it seems like designing a new mouse trap... I cannot see anything wrong with the standard system and being a tinker, I like to fiddle with everything, but I've never considered changing the cam straps..

If you want to prevent this and simplify assembly get a single jubilee band and the rubber that goes on them and put one at the right height on the tank to act as a homing point and prevent further slipping.
