5 gallon metal gas can needed for Yakima Cargo rack..

I have a Yakima cargo rack on my 94 PU. I am looking for a mount for a metal 5 gallon gas can and I would like to mount it to the Yakima rack. I am no where near a welder for the next 5 months so I need to buy a holder for this gas can.
Any ideas??
This is the rack-

this is the gas can-

thanks though..
