No, at least not with the mounting method you've described
on the web site. There's no place for the fastener, even if
you drill a clearance hole through the adaptor the nut will
interfere with mounting the cylinder. The standard bolts on
the adaptor aren't long enough to use them to hold the weight
on, either.

I've resorted to double steel backplates for use with a
single cylinder, and depending upon cylinder, exposure suit
and insulation I may still wear a weight belt with a few
pounds on it.

BTW, Jim, real nice web site. How did you get the photos
on there?
