Default new bottle location

i got tired of getting out of my car to turn my bottle on and i didn't want to spend anymore money for a remote opener so i mounted it in betwwen my back seats. tell me what you think. does the angle of the bottle look ok?






Thanks

Eric

If that floats your boat.. go with it. LOL. The label should be facing up though. There was another guy posted pics with the same location but had the alum. bracket. Check the threads back a few days.

the label isn't straight up is what he was getting at. from the pic and where you have it mounted, it looks like you do not have the outlet where the line hooks to pointed straight down. so, this puts the dip tube at a sideways angle. at this angle, when the bottle gets low, it will uncover the diptube and cause you problems.

That would be the one. Thanks for posting up. I ran out of time trying to search for a pic of your set up. Really clean looking.. as long as you don't have to put a child seat back there someday!

Well, that's why my F-Body will never be my daily driver.
That's what the Jetta is for:
It's no V8 but it gets me to and from work without any headaches and runs reliably on 21 psi:
Thank you for the props, though! By the way, if I do put people in the back they usually compliment me on the heated arm rest!

00FormLS1, Iam all for a bottle mounted on the driveshaft tunnel. Did you measure your angle? The pics are non conclusive, as they are very blurry.
Isn't it cool though, to ride into battle with guns blazing?! Hidden bottle dudes will never understand, right!?

no i didn't. it should be at a 45 degree angle? i think mines is a little low because the end of the bottle s hitting the bump in the back. i have some spacers i am going to put there to get it a little higher. i just bolted it in tuesday and snapped some picks. i have thursday off so i will get longer bolts and use the spacers i have then put some more pic's up.

i had the bottle in the spare tire well and got tired of geting out to open the bottle. I also missed a few races with cars that i needed the bottle to have a good run with them.

did you have to drop the drive shaft in order to bolt into the hump and does the valve handle get in the way of opening the center console?
