Default Bottle Mounting??

Anyone have any pics/write ups for mounting a bottle in the spare tire well using a custom/fabricated mounting plate for the bottle brackets? I don't want to bolt through the wheel well.

TIA,
Kyle

Country Boy, can you give me the measurements on that piece of wood, I want to have one made identical to that...I was going to just take a piece of plywood and lay it in there and then just drill, but I would rather have the exact measurements..

Thanks,
Bos

To be honest with ya, There is no specific measurements. (no straight edges) Just take a piece of cardboard and start cutting and trimming. Thats all I did. It took a few, but worth it.

Hey guys, I took a few hours last night and built a custom mounting plate for the bottle. I'll post pics on my site tonight and post the links back here.

OK, here's what I've got so far. Just a few pics and I don't have any that actually show the bottle b/c I'm waiting on my new bottle to come in. I'm planning on making a diagram that shows the exact dimesions of the plate, so let me know if you're intersted on getting a copy.

I'm not sure if this will fit in the Camaro well or not. I need to get someone down here to try it out for me.

Anyways, here's the link. Click on the "Nitrous Bottle Mount" link on my main page.

OK, the diagram with measurements is up on my site. My new bottle just came in so I might be able to post a few pics soon with the bottle actually mounted on the plate.

Good luck. All I used to make it was a tape measure, straight-edge and jigsaw. If you didn't get the link to my site, here it is again:
