For what you've shown I believe you'll be rewarded at the pump.
I would recommend that you investigate a really nice top quality trunk-mount bicycle rack as a form of attachment.
Modern units are so well conceived and constructed,that you could attach your entire mods to one,without sacrificing the body of the Echo and allow easy on and off should your utility needs change.Just a thought.
