Used to use "grip fist" mounts to hold my Logrite cant hook to the arm on my tractor boom pole.
Rubber cradle with a rubber strap to secure it.
They didn't hold up in the winter, rubber got stiff/brittle and the srap would fail.

They were marketed for the off road jeep folk, holding axes, shovels etc.

Suggestions?

I was in a quandary trying to figure out how to carry my cant hook on my truck. Finally came up with this solution using only a single 3" muffler clamp and a drill. I added some sticky pads on the back of the cab where the hook hits, but it still makes a little noise. I need to unbolt it and slide a piece of rubber tubing over the clamp then reinstall it.

You need some positive tightening to avoid ratling, pading isn't enougth. Look at a velcro belt or the fastener to hold the axe and the showel for the old army jeeps.
