help with canister mount (Dalton 300 ML/DA 200/ KS Canister

[orthobird]

HAs anyone who has ever installed a KS canister in a Dalton 300 ML (40%) with DA 200 have any pictures or advice on mounting the canisters?

I have the KS comfort mounts, but cannot figure it out?

Ortho..........I haven't had to mount pipes/cans before but if you are unable to come up with (or get some suggestions) a suitable way to install the KS comfort mounts take a look at McMaster-Carr and do a search for "pipe hangers." There looks to be about 18 different types.......maybe one could work for the KS cans and save you some time/effort from having to fabricate something special.

thank you both. i am looking to possibly doing this: do not believe it will add much weight. i am going to make a small platform out of 1/4" plywood. the comfort mounts will hang from them. this platform will be removable. i will also glue a small 1/8" plywood with a basswood rail. the mount plywood will then screw into the rail. i will glue the thin plywood with the basswood rails to the inside of the right and left motor box area.



i will show you what i have so far. it is not complete yet. waiting for the glue to dry.
