Hello all, sharing how I designed a mount for my Roto-Pax gas container. I wanted to mount it inside the ADV. I think mounting it inside keeps it from damaged on the outside, plus figured this would eliminate the "gone in 60 seconds issue".
From start to finish...
Most probably know this. But here is a photo of the Roto-Pax container and the backside of the Roto-Pax mount.
I designe my mounting bracket using Autodesk Inventor. Cut it on my PlasmaCam CNC plasma cutter. Bent on my Shop Outfitters bending brake.
Not bragging. Just how I did it. Would like the opportunity so possibly sell some. Thoughts? Thinking $35 plus shipping?
Bolted the Roto-Pax mount to my mount:
Used Tusk threaded pieces that fit in the Polaris side rails they are 8mm. Used two 8mm flange bolts:
The gas container mounted:
Mine mounts the container off the bed another means of not getting it damaged.
Here is a end view. The bracket holds the container vertical. Hoping this will prevent
sloshing and leakage.
Just an extra note. I bought this Roto-Pax gas container three years ago. I did not like that dumb no spill, difficult to use spout.
I found this under the Roto-Pax Water Can parts. Simple to use seals perfectly, no leakage and easy to use!!
Not sure what the differnce is between older and new style cans, but it fits mine just fine.
Just how I did mine and wondering if others would be interested.
