Mount the bottle in the center compartment. Cut a piece of wood to fit in the center, cover it with carpet, and mount your brackets.

To mount your WOT switch, there is small bolt to mount the bracket, then the bracket must be bent to fit properly.

There is a shelf in the bottom of the center compartment, that you should be able to press fit. Make a template from a piece of cardboard.

if you dont need to pass NHRA tech, you can mount the wood with industrial velcro, or you can run bolts through the tub and secure from under the car.

Front brace on both installs is a piece of plywood glued with Gorilla snot then screw to. The rear mount on both is through bolted with access from underneath for nuts/washers.
