Bottle Mount Question

If you wanna ride around with the t-tops off, you can just take the bottle out, or leave it in and put the t-tops in the back seat, just bring a couple of bigger towls to wrap them in.

I do have an aquaintance who's built 2 nitrous Cars in GMHTP magazine and (1 featured on the cover), I discussed mounting my bottle this way with him one day in the staging lanes and he thought it'd work ok. Anyway, I just wanted to show you how it looks.

I mounted my amp rack the close to the ways that were described as above. It involved no cutting, welding or rigging to hope it stays put however.
I also took a board the and wrapped it with carpet. I then removed the two hook things up on the rear deck (can't remember if they are cargo tie-downs or for child seats) and used some cheap metal strapping from Home Depot.
Basically I just laid the strapping and replaced the bolts for the hangers and then bent laid the board on top of that. I bent the metal up and trimmed the excess and screwed that to the board top and bottom in 4 spots. It is impossible for it to move and you still have a piece of wood that you can mount stuff to with out going through the metal.

i do like the wood board idea.
it probably wont pass tech, but our track is sorta laxed...at least for the test n tunes and thats the only events I race at
I was also thinking about using the bolts from the tie downs in the back
great idea guys, thanks a lot
now time to go freeze my @$$ off in the garage seeing what looks good to me!
