To save re-inventing the wheel, whats the best way of securing the

Any suggestions welcome.

The LS3 and 4 had a clamp which screwed into the bulkhead and used a bolt
t=
o hold the E or AL682 cylinder in place.
Don't know if the Aerox cylinder bracket (available online) will fit.
If you don't have abracket, a swaged wire rope loop around the neck of

the

cylinder and a "maillon rapide" (quick link) or similar to attach it to a
f=
orged eyebolt through the bulkhead works well. Best to either use coated
wi=
re or sleeve it with instrument tubing.
