Default How did you mount your bottle in the spare tire area

I have been searching for a couple of days and can't find any really good pics on how people are mounting their 10lb bottles in the spare tire area. Does anyone have some good detailed pics of where the mounts are?

thanks

That's a clever solution. What did you use to fasten them in? I can't make out the fastener types.

Do you mind if I borrow your idea?

That is pretty damn slick, I like that, did you just rivet those straps in like that?

Finished mine today. I used a couple 1.5in strips of mild steel. Turned out pretty well. Thanks for the pics Jaywoo.

I'll post some of mine up tomorrow hopefully.

You'll fail tech with wood (if the track goes by the book). Must bolt to steel.

I bolted my brackets to the rear tire well - the bolts protrude (very slightly) in to the right rear tire area. The bottle's just slightly off vertical with that positioning. No fabbing... just 4 (more) holes in the car.
