A friend of mine attempted to install a 25V tube without mounting ears in place of a tube that had mounting ears. He did this by running a metal band behind the CRT and fastening the band to brackets that were secured in the original mounting holes on the set. I've seen some B&W tubes mounted that way; but, not a color tube. As soon as he moved the TV to it's normal position, the tube imploded. It's a thousand wonders my friend was not seriously injured. That experience taught me never to tamper with a CRT in order to make it fit in a set.
