Default where should I mount my bottle?

thinking about getting nitrous. I have my subs in the upper rear hatch area and I don't want put a bottle down where the t-top storage area is so where could I put it? If I put it in the front passanger floor space how much room would it take up? I want the ladies to still be able to ride up front with me. I drive an LS1 Formula

Thanks,

Chris

i have mine in the spare tire well, got the braket from nitrous outlit. works awsome and looking in side my car you can't tell it is there. but you have to have a auto bottle opener or get out of the car to turn it one.

My bottle is in the spare tire well, and I made my own braket with some longer bolts and long spacers, about $4 at Ace.

well with the bracket you have to drill two holes but that is it and when it is installed you will never be able to tell. plus the blow down tube and supply lines are a snap. i ran my supply line under the car cuase i did not want to have to running throught the intior, i have a three year old in the car with me all the time so don't want to risk any thing i just used the rubber gromet the is under the mount. i will try to get some pics tonight and post them.

WE carry two mounts.
The 860 that goes in the spare tire area.


And we carry our mount for mounting on the rear hump.
