Re: Tank mounting brackets.

I’m using the Tiger Gear brackets on my Meg but would like something with a lower profile so I can get the tanks in as close as possible to the unit. I’ve seen the G Snaps and I really like the look of the Metalsub ones but there is no Aussie distributor for them and would have to source an OS provider. Not a biggie but and recommendations would be appreciated. What else is out there that is worth looking at? .
Hey Steve-

Another option is to make your own. I did. Work great, very adjustable, incredibly strong, very low profile- just 1/3 inch/ 86 mm. Had a 350 lb. (that he’d admit to) guy stand on one and bracket was unscathed. 3 plies of 50-50 Kevlar/ carbon fiber. West system epoxy. I use them w/ soft cam bands but would work fine w/ the stainless steel clamps as well.

Best,
Ken
