I do. -8 AN is what you need. then just install a bulkhead fitting in the floor and thread the other end of the hose to it <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Of coarse I don't have a good pic of this.But here is what you need:
1- -8 bulkhead fitting and nut
i- -8 striaght AN conn
1- -8 90' AN conn
6' -8 Braided hose
2- Washers for bulkhead fitting
To do:
In bottom of wheel well there is a plug about 2'-remove.Mount bulkhead fitting with red locktight.
Install straight conn on bulkhead conn.
Test fit -8 hose for length before cutting
90'AN goes on bottle.
Just make up the line and screw on.
You can get all the stuff you need from Summit.
If anyone is interested I can make this setup and mail it to them.
Also if you want a Wheel well plate.I can make that too.Just E-mail me if interested.Have pics of wheel well plate w/ bottle mounted.
