I mounted mine on the Camaro's driveshaft hump. I do not need remote bottle opener or remote pressure gauge.

I never take off my T-tops so I removed the holder bracket on the right side and mounted it in the rear hatch area. I still wanted some room to carry a small ice chest or a couple of bags from the store so I mounted it straight up and down. It also needed the blow-down tube to be NHRA approved at the local track. Chech out the picture on the link below.

sorry i cant i'm in korea for a year and the car is in nebraska. it was simple to do though i just pulled the seat out and took it apart then drilled into the plastic. put some bolts through then put nuts on that to secure it down to the seat back i then put the mounts on and tightened them down with some additional nuts

Mount it between the seats, all you gotta do is turn around and turn her on and off.

I like the idea of it being right behind me! If I had an FBody...I would put it in the back seat! But I have a GTO, so I will go with the spare tire well!

I like both, but it all depends if your going for show or stealth. Myself I like it how noone expects in the least that I have N20, they can't see any trace unless they have a trained eye and have been around these cars. If I had it between the seats, it would be a dead giveaway. Just depends on the person really.....

on the hump......it's easy to access the bottle for fills and there's no reason for a bottle opener or remote pressure gauge.

I have mine in the spare tire well. I ordered the thermo swtich. Open it and forget about it. My friend has this set-up and he doesn't need a remote bottle opener and a remote pressure gauge, I'm going with it and I'll let you know how it goes. Here's a link on where I bought it.

I'll probably put it in the spare tire well, but what about for those who have removed the rear seats, using the 2 holes in the factory mounts for the seat bottoms? I've thought about that, though I may prefer putting an extinguisher there.

Well, the first time, I mounted it right behind the back seat, on the rear bulkhead. But when I was drilling, I went into the gas tank, lol, so I just decide to mount it on the hump over the driveshaft. Who would have thought the gas tank was right there. Oh well, mistakes happen.
