Default help with mounting 15# bottle

trying to get the car track ready and im running into a wall on where to mount the bottle.

-i currently have a tunnel mount, but i just had my roll bar installed and now the wont fit there.

-the roll bar goes all the way to the rear so i dont know if i will be able to get a spare tire mount back there.

- if i mount it above the fuel tank, i dont know how i will be able to bolt the brackets down without have to drop the tank.

- mounting to the passenger floorboard will def. be the easiest, but that means i have to remove it if i ever put a pass seat in it (dont know if i will) and i dont know how comfortable i feel with it being right beside me.

here are some pics to help describe my issue.

You could always cut the transmission bracket down so it will slid further down on the tunnel mount. It might give you some clearance.

How close is it currently from clearing the roll cage? If it's pretty close, I'd just try to mod your current tunnel mount.

even if i were to mod the tunnel mount it would then put the bottle with the back up higher then the front, so it still would be ideal.

how hard is it to drop the tank? i tried finding a write up and couldn't.

Not hard. Just make sure it's almost empty or it won't be a good time at all.
