Use the inexpensive plasitic mount or the nicer aluminum mount from the OSE store. Rough either mount up and the hull with 80 grit paper and use epoxy to mount it.

Here's how I did it for a friend's Arowana. Small top piece and two wood screws.

That's how much they use to cost new. I bought mine in the first batch and I think I paid $78 for it minus shipping which was like $60. Good luck. Read my thread if you get time. Get rid of the trim tabs.
