WTF 15 lbs. Bottle in NOS 5177 kit Ok so i just bought a NOS 5177 kit and i thought the kit came with a 10 lbs. bottle but after opening the box i got a 15 lbs. bazooka!
How in the heck does this thing fit in the car. I mean its sitting right were the spair tire goes but its just laying there and if i mount the bottle in there i probably wont be getting it back out? Any Ideas on what to do and has anyone else ran into this problem??? I mean I really what to keep the bottle just dont exactly know where to mount that beast of a tank....

You could sell the 15 lber & pick up a 10 lb bottle. That is what I did when I bought my last 5177 kit.
15s have been installed in the spare tire well, it just depends on how much you want to mess with it.

98 camaro with a 17" wide tub, not that big of a tire I would probably limit the tire size to 30 or 31 with a 14.5 - 15" section.
It still has the back seat in it, I wanted to be able to take the kiddies with me still, so that's as big as I could go without tossing the seat or having to go to coilovers.
I have a speaker box in the trunk so there isn't many places left for my bottle

Here's my 15lb. (old stealth box shot)
Current setup
The bracket
I'm planning on doing a rear seat delete this summer that lays flat over the tunnel in order to mount the bottle in the middle where the hump will now be flat.
