Hey Andy
I was using this for a while. It’s a titanium butt mount that’s big enough to carry a 14 cubic foot tank. The black thing on the back is a chunk of foam that I installed and painted. Because the kit is just a little ass heavy the foam gives the perfect buoyancy. The mount/stand is five inches tall. I’ve recently made a syntactic foam butt mount that’s three inches tall but it won’t hold a BC / Dry suit inflation bottle. The titanium one might end up in the Frankie scuba graveyard. Or may be to you for the right price. I’m now mounting the bottle to my on board tank like you. I also mount another bottle of O2 to the other on board tank to even out the kits trim. I’ve only made two dives like this and so far I’m pleased. I’m using my kit more as a deep diving rig so I want another bottle of O2 plus my two bail out bottles. If you decide to make or get something like I have I highly recommend installing something to give the ass of your kit some buoyancy. The black foam in this picture is no longer perfect it got crushed after a deep dive. If you’re interested in making one make sure you get ocean grade syntactic foam.

Also take a look at the old post by narked at 90 ( Boris Stand) there’s some pictures to give you some Ideas.

Cheers Frankie
