I bought some strips of metal from Home Depot and connected them from where my jack went to the lip where the antenna is. Then put the bottle brackets onto those. I don't have a pic of mine, but I think I have some similar pics from others. Let me see.....

Found it - mind kinda looks like this

I used the stock brackets. I mounted them on the side.

The bracket Dave sells works with 10 and 15lb bottles. He has some pics of 15lb bottles installed, and there are some pics posted somewhere. I'll see if I can find them.

I have installed them with both 10 and 15 Lbs bottles. They are prefect for 10 Lbs bottles but the 15s are a very tight squeeze

We tried NX ,CF and NOS bottle brackets and the valve always wanted to hit the wheel well

VERY nice product. that is why I mentioned it

On the 15lb bottles you will need to space up the front bracket so that the valve clears the fender well.

i just used a street sign that i found cut it in half and bought some L brackets from a local hardware store and then just drilled the holes and mounted it. best thing about the street sign is that its forged aluminum and weighs damn near nothing.

I used 1 inch square aluminum tubing about 1 1/2 long to raise the front of the 15 pound bottle to get the opener to fit with the 860 bracket
