best way to temp mount shovel to Pro rack?

Need a shovel on some ventures, but don't want it full time. Anyone have a good solution to mount a dirty shovel to the Pro rack? Thanks.

I built something like this for my Gobi rack. It should work for the Pro rack. I made two of them which you can mount in series depending on the length handles of your axe/shovels.

The dual mount clip for $100 is almost the same as the DIY I posted. I like how they've mounted the Quick Fists on either side of the clamp that mounts to the rack. Less levered torque on the clamp. Easy to do the same thing on the DIY too. To give you more information to compare build vs. buy, I spent about 1 hour making my own and it cost about $30 in parts. I guess it's a question of how much your time is worth :-).

My next project is to do the same kind of mounting clamp with a longer aluminum bar to mount my traction boards on the other side of the rack.

I drilled about 1/4" into the roll cage mount and used a 10-24 tap into the hole on both the aluminum bar and the roll cage mount.
