I tied the vise to the HF benchtop at one end through the two holes in the end overhang, using a 1.5" laminated hunk of MDF to hang the vise on, and two carriage bolts through said two benchtop holes. I had the MDF as scrap from making sanding dishes and I had to go buy two carriage bolts, two wing nuts and two fender washers. Done, fits the shop nicely. Had to drill three holes in the MDF scrap. Happy days. And the vise can be mounted when I need it and stored when I don't.
