Default Nitrous Bottle Mount....

I am just starting the installation of my TNT kit and have a quick question. I pulled all of the panels and carpet from the hatch of my coupe while getting ready to mount the bottle. My question is what is the best way/position to mount the bottle in the big cargo area? I am shooting for a discrete mount which allows the bottle to be covered by the cargo cover. Any creative ideas? :D

Cut a board to the size of the center compartment and mount the bottle to that. I did that with my NX kit before I sold it and as soon as I get some money saved up I'm going to use the same board for my TNT kit :cheers:

Mount bottle sideways on mounting board or metal plate. Make sure and rotate bottle about 35 degree angle like in my picture to take advantage of siphon tube pick up. I have no problems using all the N20 in my bottle :cheers:

Do you bolt the mounting board or metal plate down to the car or should you let if float? :confused:

You don't have to bolt the board down. If you cut the board to almost the exact same size as rectangular area, it shouldn't be able to move around much.
