Default Refuse2buy a electric bottle opener so i custom rig a tunnel bracket2open it my self

I spent about 3hrs rigging this bracket support for a 10lb bottle
to avoid spending $100+ bucks for a electric bottle opener..
I think it looks alil shitty but it will do,but in a passing glance it looks awesome..
remember that the seat will cover all of my imperfection..3hrs and zero cents.
what do y'all think? excuse the mess..



I got this hook up from Mrr23 from Orlando,FL, my spare 10lb bottle holder.

I'm a little confused actually lol. From what I can see, you made a bottle mount on the tunnel, I think it looks pretty good actually but what does that have to do with a bottle opener? lol

Looks good.
He says it didn't cost him anything, so I'm guessing he used some scrap metal he had laying around.

Looks good. I'm actually in the process of trying to figure something out also to fabricate a tunnel mount.

I wouldn't mind a nitrous outlet one. But I'm not paying 75+ shipping for a piece of metal that could be fabricated
at the house for 1/2 and give me something to do for a little whole.


So where are u going to run your blow down? If your even going to run one.

With the bottle in the car, you really should run a vent tube to the outside off the bottle - safety first.

that was my thought when I saw the pic. No way would I want that right beside me if it pops off.

It can happen!!

I mount my 15lb bottle the same way except it mounts to the bottom side of my cage's crossbar. And the bottle isn't in the car unless the blow down is attached.

For the blow down tube, there are two rubber plugs (1 driver side, 1 pass side) in the floor pan underneath your carpet to run out the car
