Default Anyone put their bottle on the trans tunnel?

I relocated my battery to the truck so I lost that nice spot where the speaker is for my bottle...

I don't want to put it where my t-tops go either...

So i'm thinking of putting it where the trans tunnel is... have the handle facing me... so I could open it from the drivers seat

Anyone done this? have pics on how you mounted the bottle? I have a 15lb bottle but worst case I can use a 10lber (I have one of those too)

Any special considerations since the bottle is so close to the driver? (NHRA or IHRA) I'll have a blow off tube vented outside the car...

If you dont have the rear seats in the car you can mount it behind the passanger seat. Easy to get to from drivers seat and you can see the bottle pressure easy as well.

Their have been several threads on this. You can put a 15lbs bottle on the hump no problem if you don't run back seats. I simply cut my stock NOS brackets to make it bolt to the hump no problem. Before you drill any holes in the tunnel reach under the drivers side of the carpet and pull the fuel pump harness off the tunnel (clipped on with little stick on style clips).
