Bottle mounting
How are you guys mounting your bottles? I've heard some are using gorilla glue ect. What are the best methods to keep this thing secure???

Top pic is Z06 and bottom is coupe. Both use a piece of 3/8 plywood on top mount with just srews into plywood. The bottom mounts can be through bolted in the spare well, or glue plywood there also. Yes, I used Gorrila glue. My new set-up has dual 15lb bottles using the same method, but I used threaded inserts for 1/4-20 button heads this time over screws, but no pics yet.

Still installing my system. Going to be a two stage with a DynoTune Dry shot (75-100) with a Nitrous Outlet Wet Plate ((50-75).
Here is what I am doing with the bottle.
The Logo on the bottle blanket is being embroidered, that is a paper cutout pictured for reference.
Finally came up with a panel for the two stage. Pull out the ashtray and this fits with no cutting of the dash
More to follow as I progress

My 15lb bottle is mounted on an 1/8" by 3" wide flat plate. I use countoured pieces of 1/4" plate to sandwich the well from the bottom. No cracks in the fiberglass or movement of the bottle. But a 15lb bottle does look kinda silly in the rear well 
No thats not the final mounting, that was just from the original mockup.
