Nano mounting options?

I used to have an issue mouning the Nano bottle in my Corvette, so I designed an alumimum bracket for a 10lb n2o bottle and a 4500 psi Nano bottle. I made it with hinged top bracket for easy bottle changing and cut in black rubber strips along the edged to keep from scratching my bottles. Let me know what you think?

Not sure exactly what you meant? Are you referring to the bottles being on an angle? If so, the bottles are on a 15 degree angle. I'm not sure you can tell in the pictures, but the holes that accept the bottles are cut through the aluminum with a 15 degree chamfer and the front and rear brackets are different heights to maintain the ideal 15 degree angle. Is that what you were referring to?

I havent seen your write up, but would love too. can you send me a link?
My original design was exactly as you described with an angled mount, but after seeing it in cad I thought this way looked better. This bracket gets bolted to an alumimum plate which then mouts anywhere. It's just not together yet for time reasons. As soon as its together I'll post some more photos. It looks pretty serious when its all together...

Best looking solution I've seen.

Yeah the 15lb bottle with the 4500psi kit looks way better together then the 10lb bottle with the 3000psi kit like I have. Still not really sure why the 3000 bottle is bigger then the 4500??

Here are some new photo's of my Nano/n2o bracket installed in my car... I have a fire suppression system install in the small trunk space below the bracket. On top of the fire suppression we have two heavy gauge aluminum angle brackets tied to each side of the frame rail directly below the cargo area cover. These angle brackets have nuts fastened to them which accepts the bolts of the Nano/n2o bracket. You will notice the four bolts on the mounting plates directly below the tanks. It appears that the bracket is only mounted to the cargo cover, but it mounts through the cover to the heavy angle which is mounted to the frame rails. It’s strong with a nice clean look…
