You can get em beam mount, this one came with a mount for like a Black Widow, going to stick a horseshoe backplate on it.
You could make this a beam mount with a little carpentry.

What size fuel tank is that?

Edit: Nevermind. I see you already said that.

Very Sharp. Should fly well with the KB.

So is the rustoleum fuel proof?

I have used it a bunch. Seems fuelproof to me. Gotta let it set or it can get grimey.

I believe it is fuel proof as long as the nitro content is lower than 10-15%. I cannot guarantee this.

I think fuel resistant may be a better description. Some colors seem to be more impervious than others and high nitro (>15%) fuel can cause some problems. Just keep raw fuel away if possible and clean after flying. Also, allowing the paint to "cure" before flying gives the surface a chance to harden.

BTW, that's my favorite color scheme -- yellow and black. It looks really good. Waiting for the maiden report.

That is a very nice looking plane. Wonder how long it'll run on 2/3 oz of fuel?

The model was a ARF from Brodak the wing is monokote, I pulled the coating off the fuse. Black was all I could get.
Its CG is 1 1/4" behind wing leading edge, the plans say nothing about CG.

From what I've seen over the years the Baby Clown is probably one of the better flying of that type of 1/2a kit, profile, built up wing, etc. You might look at a larger tank and maybe pressure?
