looks like AL80's or smaller.

Mine was made for the AL80s. It should work for anything 7.25" in diameter. As you said, it should work for anything similar and shorter.

Yours looks nice! I was happy that the necks were avoided because I didn't know if that was a faux pas. That is why I also left the gap. During travel the straps would hold the tanks unless I get rear-ended, where the 1x8 would kick in hopefully. I like your design. I would prefer no play. It may nag on me enough to take a quarter inch off the runners on the "bottom" end.

the necks are pretty strong. That rack is supporting them a bit at the neck, but it was mainly to keep them from sliding forward and backwards, and left to right vs. weight bearing.
