I’m looking for advice on how to mount fuel containers (rotopax) and traction boards on outside of my RSI Smartcap.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Outside like on the side panels or like on the top of the shell? For the side you could use bolts/rivnuts. For the top whatever rack and or attachments RSI sells or is compatible.

I want to mount them on the side not the top. I have the glass side panels and do not want to drill holes anywhere. I called RSI and the customer service person that I spoke to could not provide me with load rating for the glass panels and further advised that eventually they would offer metal panels to replace the windows but they would not be available for at least another year. I am hoping that I can find a bracket that clamps to the glass panels if they are sturdy enough to carry the weight of two 4 gallon rotopax or four traction boards…

Feel like we've been having that promise for over a year now....I don't even mind buying a full replacement solid gullwing. Makes me a little nervous in case one gets broken in the meantime.....
