Default 15# bottle in spare tire area?

I'm new to this Spraying stuff im getting a F1 kit from a guy in town but his kit includes a 15lbs bottle will it fit in the spare tire area? I want to mount it between the rear seats but i dont feel comfortable w/ my son sitting right next to the bottle. I also want to keep the room in the back for my t-tops.

Here is a pic of a 15# bottle mounted in the spare tire area. It fits really nicely, you just have to watch how you orient the bottle & make sure that you have enough room to hook up your lines.

I'll get a pic up tomorrow...for now if you can picture an "L" shaped piece of steel about 2.5 inches wide, about 4 inches tall and 1.5 in the bottom of the "L". It has 1 hole in the bottom for the jack mount and then 2 on the top for the bottle. The top has rounded corners to clear the carpet and plastic cover. I take the entire mount out every time i refill the bottle.

Great pics... they're exactly what I was looking for as well Using the hole where the jack bolted down is a good idea.

If you have a bottle heater... where do you pull the 12 volt from ??.. Could it be pulled from the wires that are running towards the back? near the rear speakers.

Or do you have to run a wire up to the front PCM?

I dont have a bottle heater but depending on how you want yours to work you would have to run a wire to you heater itself...either a switch wire that comes on when the ignition is on(same wire used for activation switch) or a switched hot wire(constant 12V) that is on all the time to make it able to heat the bottle between runs at the track without the engine on.
