I wish I could still lift my bandsaw up high enough to place it in your wall mount storage brackets . Nice shop area. Thanks for sharing the photos.
While not as fancy, I have a similar bracket for the bandsaw that sits about 16" from the floor. Easy to lift. Located near the left end and behind the SS. lift BS clear of the wall mount (1-5/8" holes in a short piece of 2x12) pivot 90° left on L foot, or better, a standard GI "Left Face" then lift high enough to drop it into the sockets.
BTW, did I mention my shop is 10 by 10, outside measurement.

I don't have any immediate project in mind but I must have some of these collars available in my shop.
Again I say - Very neat solution to your shop need.

You do have these collars if you have your old 510 fence rails. You can cut them down to serve the same purpose.
I know some 510 fence rails had welded studs that could got down through the wood and others had through holes drilled in them that you could put a tapered head bolt into and through the wood.
Just hack saw the fence rails to proper width and you are on your way.

Yes, I could section 510 rails and get something that would fit over the tubes but I would not have a way to secure the rail to the tube. This "clamps" would do that.
Yes, I also could drill and tap holes for set screws and that would work too.

There is another little detail, that I just noticed, that could become an issue for some.
The 510 main tables are not all the same. Onetracks' table is one of the older models and it has holes predrilled in the tables sides. I am told that those holes are there because they were used for "registration points" when the tables were manufactured.
Those holes do not exist on the newer tables. Holes could be drilled but the locations would have to be different. Not a show stopper just a design change.

Why do we have to secure the rail to the tube? I didn't think about it when i made my suggestion. And now that you mentioned it I can't think of a reason it would be needed.
I guess if you didn't use the eye bolt and table pin you would need to clamp to the rails but with the bolt and pin I don't see the supports moving. Am I missing something??????

No, you are not. I missed the fact that the bolts secure the rails in their intended position.
However, those bolts may not be part of an installation on a Mark V with a later version Main Table which has no holes for those bolts unless the user creates them.
Furthermore, I had tunnel vision while thinking about the clamps.

Clamping the adapter rings to the tubes prevents sideways movement(assuming the tubes are 'secure').
IMHO clamping will result in a much more solid support.
