Tom...

For the canister?

Any problem with me drilling a couple small 3/16 holes in the fiberglass tunnel and running the zip tie inside?, I will be using a small silicone pad between the can and the tunnel and some between the zip tie also. Reason for this is I found out tonight I am severely allergic to the fumes from the RTV and also to the touch ( airway and eyes swelled shut as well as blistered Skin on fingertips). I would rather not have the RTV on there at all because it's not something I can replace myself if I have someone else do it.
I came down through the fuse and poked a couple holes on the outside of the tunnel right where fiberglass meets the wood.
Then I hardened the holes and surrounding wood with CA.
It took 2 tie wraps hooked together to make the loop.
Put some silicone tubing on the tie to support the can.
On the tunnel I split a piece of tubing and glued it in place with RTV.
I also glued a piece to the top of the LG support bar so no vibration (metal to metal) with the can and this adds support there as well.
