To anyone else considering how to install their bottle, I used what probably most on here already have (spare tire area). I stole the exact idea from someone else who posted similar pics to this on the board. I figured Id post my own success story with pics. Here they are. I picked up a roll of 3/4" 24ga Galvanized Strapping, some self tapping screws and some washers. Then some other random nuts & bolts to put the bottle brackets on the strapping. Good luck!

 

Looks good, and that will pick up the pace abit

 

I have the same exact setup, I too copied the idea from someone who had posted pics years ago.

 

might want to consider bolts instead of those machine screws

 

Thanks, yeah I sure hope so

 

I put bolts on the bottle through the bottle brackets into the strapping, but the self tap screws into the sheetmetal of the car. Mostly being cause I have no idea where they come out, lol.

 

Nice job, thats a perfect place for it!

 

I dont know, that would worry me, do you think those straps will hold a 25lb bottle if you are in a accident?

 

Thanks alot, I like it and anyone who see's it thinks the same.

 

If Im in an accident Im not too worried about it holding the bottle. I'll be worried about my *** getting crushed or going thru the windshield.

 

You might be worried when a 25lb bottle comes crashing into the back of your head, or your passangers head

 

Its also underneath the vehicles plastic moulding, however yes, If I could Id like to weld some small brackets to hold them down, but during an impact, those welded brackets would probably break at the welds whereas these straps have some give and would not.
