Patrick, I have a Solstice GT. I haven't installed a foot pump but I've been considering it. When I looked at my forward bulkhead, it appeared much too thin to mount a pump without reinforcement. I wouldn't want to be pumping during an adrenaline rush and put my foot through the bulkhead. I haven't thought out the method of reinforcement yet, but I imagine it would take the form of spreading the load over as much of the bulkhead area as possible. I'd be interested in hearing (seeing) the solution you come up with.
