Thanks..
i mounted a pair of BVM 1” knurled threaded inserts into the bottom of the fuse.
then i took a long 4-40 bolt and cut the head off and filed a flat on one end (like you would for a wheel axel). That then threads into the fuse with the end with the flat sticking out and to one side. My pylon has a set screw in the side that tightens against that flat. The tank stays mounted to the pylon.
So to install i thread the headless bolts in, then slide the tank/pylon assembly on and tighten the set screw in the pylon. Hope that make sense. The silver paint shows me when to stop screwing the headless bolt in.
