Default Bottle placement question again

I want to mount my bottle behind the seat, but I know I cant drill there due to gas tanks there. I remeber people saying that they hypoxied a board under the carpet. Anyone got any pics or other idea. I got the dual billet alum bottle holder for my 2 bottles, and i wanna put them right in the middle of the two seats in the back so all I got to do is reach back and turn them on and off.

I would liquid nail or silicone a board, then mount the bottle holder to it.
DO NOT DRILL into the floor, your gas tanks are under there

Good thing you mentioned that. I was thinking about doing that. :leaving:
I am going to have one bottle and I want to mount it right behind the passenger head rest on the carpet.

in my opinion the best place for a single bottle is in the rear center compartment. You can fit a 10# bottle with a remote opener without any issue. For NHRA rules (if you goto your local strip) you will need to have a blow off valve that exits the car. In the reat compartment, there is nothing under that fiberglass well, so it makes being legal very easy; just drill a small hole and route the lines.

I like the idea of putting the bottle in the compartment, but I really want the bottle to be visible by looking in the car.
