Patrick; I have taken the shape of the front bulkhead by pushing in a rough
cardboard template, and refining that until accurate. I then cut a 4mm ply
piece, fitted 20mm blue closed cell foam behind it on the bulkhead side, and
bolted the foot pump to that. After attaching the inlet and outlet hoses, no
fastening is needed for the "false bulkhead" on which the pump is mounted.
Seems to spread the load OK.
