Where did you get that mount, and can you post a closeup picture, I've bought a 1 liter fuel bottle, but I have not yet figure where to install it.

Bottle holder: https://www.happy-trail.com/happy-trails-container-holder.html

It can hold up to a 1.5L bottle - https://www.happy-trail.com/primus-fuel-bottle-1-5-l-p-737929.html

I also used this holder: https://wolfmanluggage.com/collections/fluid-systems/products/wolf-bottle-holster 

It can do typical 1L bottles.

Mounting of the Happy Trails holder is done with a flat plate of aluminium that I cut to size and drilled matching hols in and then bolted to the side rail with some hex bolts I cut to fit so they don't hit anything like fan shroud wires etc.

I also run the Wolfman Enduro Pocket and really like it for having a few extra things handy that I don't have to pack on my back.  https://wolfmanluggage.com/collections/enduro-bags/products/enduro-pocket

A second note: If you picked up the Happy Trails holder over the Wolfman it is rather thin aluminum so if it takes a hit it will likely bend or if you are running it without the bottle it is a bit of a knife, hence why I indicated even with the bottle empty we don't run it without the bottle.  

To help with strength, when you get it and size up what kind of plate you want to use to mount it you might want to cut two of them and use the second as a backing for the holder.  Also a small bit of rubber between the plates to prevent scratching of the down-tube is a good idea.  

Good luck.
