Something like this.

http://www.breezeclamps.com/euroseal.htm

has a smooth underside so it does not damage the silicone over time.

Awesome!! Have not gotten to test it at the track but I am hoping it will work out well... Make sure you Swiss cheese the bottom of your tank and not just cut a hole in it so it keeps the fuel in the sump when you turn.
