Question A little help here

So I made some fancy-pants brackets to fit a nitrous bottle into the spare tire area.
I fit it up to a 94,98, & 99 Camaro and it fit fine. But then I fit it up to a 00 TA (at Noyzees garage last night) and the TA was different????? The TA had a power antena so I'm not sure if that was why it was different or if its a Pontiac/Chevy thing, or a year thing????

The Camaros all had a bracket spot welded to the rear quarter that is parallel with the car with 2 holes in it, the TA's bracket is parallel with the rear quarter. Hopefully that makes sense.
Can anyone help me figure out which cars have the spare tire brackets that are in-line with the car?
Thanks,
Vinny

Vinny,
I could be wrong here but there are only going to be two different ones.The TA and the Z are different.Sorry I guess I should have told you that while we were talking.THe biggest thing is the change up for the antena.

i have the BMR kit and it will not fit, but if you put a kit that would mount it low, it would fit.

that's sweet ****...being able to get a battery under there would be even cooler. I like the built in warmer and the wing nuts.
