Dyno Tune has a nice bottle brackett. I am not sure if it will fit. I would check the measurements with them first.

Aerospace components offers a single and double mount: http://www.aerospacecomponents.com/sin-bracket.htm#sb
Edelbrock also offers a nice quick release mount and some polished billet mounts. My experience with the brackets like the one from dyno tune is that they tend to rattle.

Brad, the Dynotune bottle bracket and the 860 bracket with heater are totally different.

Anyone know how to mount that dynotune bracket between the seats? Comes with bolts not self tapping screws.

Cause they need to be fricking huge to fill the holes and I'm not sure it would be safe to screw something that big in between the seats on the hump? If some one else has done it and it worked then I'll do it.

you would trust a self tapper into some thin sheetmetal to support a 10# bottle? How about you buy some longer bolts and nuts and BOLT it to the floor. Of course you'll need some help to do it this way but it'll be much safer.

By using screws. The only thing under that hump is the driveshaft.. If you are going to hit it just by running in 4 self tappers, then you have major issues.

Yeah you definately would want to use bolts with nuts n washers on the bottom. Self tapping screws would be fine if it was something light, but a bottle brackett should be secured.

I put a bracket like this between the back seats. Fits a 10lb bottle nicely w/o bumping the console. Had to buy some longer bolts, but they feed through the sheet metal and come out in the tunnel, secured with washers & lock nuts. It's very sturdy. I'd only suggest you move the emergency brake cables out of the way. I didn't & I nicked one w/ the drill. Mine was the non-heater one from dynotune.

Regular bottle brackets that came with the TNT kit, some long bolts with nylon nuts on the bottom, and some spacers to tilt the bottle a bit....

I make these brackets and mounted it so that there would be no holes in the carpet that would be visible should I decide to remove it.
