Ok, I know I post alot of questions here.  But I'd figure I'd post a few 
of my solutions here as well.

A while back I was asking about the force applied to the tire changer from 
Harbor Freight.

With the answers I got here, I made, what I consider, a rather elegant 
solution to the mounting problem.

Again, I can't mount in my floor because of the radiant tubes.  Also, I 
don't want to put this thing in the middle of the floor anywhere.

So, I came up with way that the changer can 'fold' up to my table when not 
in use, but quickly pulls out and with one nut, tightens super sturdy! 

Here is a link to my instrucable on it...

Funny side note, now that I posted this and I'm sure others can use the 
idea, Harbor Freight no longer offerers that changer on their site! DOH!!!
