3/4 galvanized pipe with two floor flanges, one at each end. A roll of .040 stainless safety wire to connect to the pipe and that's about it. The wire is tight enough around the fittings so it won't slip off, and there is a piece of wire through the floor flange, and around the cross member so it doesn't walk. I figure it's better than nothing but I think it will work. I'm trying to post a picture.

sure looks like something I would do in a pinch... I don't know the breaking strength of safety wire you used... but can tell you that "bailing wire" has never failed me with a situation like this...
I can't tell in the picture... did you wire the pipe that supports this to the frame cross members too? While the pipe is being pulled down with the wires in relation to the pump... if the pump comes loose, the entire thing will be a bouncing assembly when it does.
