Default Need help???

I'm installing my Nitrous bottle mounts to the rear floor in my Vette behind the pass seat. One mount (the one closer to the pass seat) is already done and I bolted it through the compartment door. My question is on the second mount...........how much clearance is there between the underside of the floor to the fuel tank? I don't want to hit it when I bolt up this mount.

Thanks

How are the mounts done? My junky NX ones that came with the kit you put the bolt in through the bottom and tighten the nut on the topside. Just drill very very slowly. :) Actually I don't think the fuel tank reaches underneath there as its behind the rearmost wall of the hatch, but you may hit a cross member. Someone correct me if I'm high on white out.

The mounts never came with bolts, I had to go to the hardware store to pick up some. I bought 2" sheet metal screws and washers. The brackets are about 1/2" thick so there is approx 1 3/8" bolt left that I'm going to drill through thr floor.
