best way to mount bottle in back seat? I want to mount my nitrous bottle in the back seat (driveshaft hump), first off where can i buy brackets so it will fit properly? I have HSW brackets that came with the kit will those work? Also where should i run the lines+blowdown tube so people in my backseat wont step on it? thanks
I used the "hump mount" (NO-00-3300) from nitrousoutlet.com. I mounted the billet aluminum bottle bracket (HSW-BTL-BKT-BLT-C) from harrisspeedworks.com to the hump mount so I could carry the bottle for refilling and wouldn't need to snap my custom painted bottle in and out of any mounts. I ran my blowdown through the hole under the rear passenger seat - you'll need a bulkhead fitting as there's just a rubber plug - nitrousoutlet makes a kit for this or you can make your own. I ran my nitrous lines under the center console and up through the passenger side firewall. The only parts exposed are the blowdown braided line as it goes from the bottle by the side of the rear passenger seat (then under the seat and out the hole) and the main line from the back of the console to the bottle. No one ever rides in my back seat but even if they did, I can't imagine anyone being able to climb from one side to the other and this is the only way they'd step on anything.
I just put mine where the back pass seat goes. Most of the people I hang out with are over 6' tall so nobody is ******* fitting back there anyways haha. Plus it's easier to reach when you're cruising around incase you need to "merge into traffic" or anything.

i bought some steel from lowes and bent it myself to make my own brackets, then i bolted the factory ones to my home made ones. i bolted my homemade ones to the driveshaft hump. it is VERY strurdy
i ran the line under the seat mounting bracket so they would be protected if anyone actually sat back there. there was already a grommet in the floor that i took the line through. from there i ran it with some lines that were protected by heat shielding all the way to the engine bay.
