Default How did everyone mount their bottles....

Getting ready to go ahead and mount my dual bottle set up in the trunk and looking to see what everyone has been doing to get them mounted down. i know the tanks are right under and people have been using wood bases with epoxy So lets see those set ups!!

Same here, mounted my bottom bracket to a piece of wood that I covered with carpet and used the hole for he child seat hook to secure it all to the car. Works great, easy to remove and I didn't have to cut the carpet.

I had a machine shop make me a plate of aluminum 3/8" thick (like the one nitrous outlet sells) and glued it to the floor using panel bond adhesive. Located it where I wanted it, measured, drilled and tapped holes for dual bottle mount before adhering to the floor. Worked great for years until I switched over to blower. I have pics somewhere but don't know where LOL.

Not nitrous, but the same idea... Just an aluminum plate with the 4 outer bolts going thru a steel flange under the car (at least on my base model) making it solid... The flange is small so you have be be near perfect when measuring. I also bolted with fender washers towards the center to keep it from rattling.



My nitrous setup.. Only works if you dont have friends.

Since mine is a mile car, it makes me nervous to have them attached to the rear panel so I attached to the cage
