Question regarding Oxygen tank mounts

All:

I plan to install mounts for my Mountain High oxygen tank on my RV-14A. My current idea is to mount them to the forward baggage side cover on the co-pilot side which should make it easy to reach the valve/regulator from the pilot seat.

My thought is that I will fabricate a doubler behind the cover for each of the two mounts (metal bands with quick release mounts, each with 4 screws) using countersunk nutplates.

I'm looking for thoughts on this idea and other suggestions - in particular should I beef it up even more, use nutplates to mount the side cover itself (it mounts using LP-3 blind rivets), and/or use stiffeners in addition to doublers.

Thanks in advance.
