Default "EASIEST" Bottle Brackets To Use?

I HATE the standard bottle brackets I got with my NX kit (the ones with the wing nuts that tighten and loosen the straps).

Are any of you using bottle brackets with a true "quick release" design? Any recommendations? I'm looking at the NOS quick release brackets.

http://www.holley.com/products.asp?product=14140NOS

Anyone using them? Will they work with my NX bottle?

Thanks!

I use one similar to the one shown by NitrousDirect. I mounted mine sideways to fit the spare tire compartment like I wanted.

Trooper you know what I have, the billet bracket, they are bad ***. You seen them haven't you. They make a nice carry handle when you get your bottle filled as well.

Dynotune or Nitrous Direct can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they sell the same bracket. They are similar, but the one dynotune sells looks thicker and has a countoured handle with radius's.
Red Couple Bandit, which one do you have?

Will the one on dynotune's site hold a TNT bottle? It says that it holds most of the standard ones, but it doesn't list the TNT bottle.

The billet ones are nice, but I'm not looking for pretty (my bottle is hidden anyway), just EASY. It looks like I'm going with the aluminum quick-release brackets from NOS for ~$100. All you need to do is pull a couple of pins to release the bottle.

Well it just dawned on you may not know that ours are anodized, and will not oxidize like some of the other billet brackets on the market. Not only is this the case, but! They are available in the following anodized colors Clear (pictured above), black, blue, and red!
