How much does something like cost. I would love to trick my dual 15s out like that, very nice, but have a feeling the $$ will be somewhat high. Does the 860 heaters allow you to get the bottles out without scratching or marring? That would be my one draw back, the in out, in out thing?

For my dual 10 lb bottles the guy only charged me 250 for both. I think that is an EXTREMELY fair price considering the work done.

The 860 heaters are just pretty much a bottle bracket with a metal plate that makes up the heating element that is the bottom half of the heater. I have some rubber "tubing" that I am going to put over the actual brackets themselves to keep the brackets from scratching the paint.

That was a good deal. i know about the 860 and how it works, was just wondering how the bottle actually comes off. Meaning, some have a quick disconnect that allows the bottle bracket to remain on bottle, and uses a quick release pin system. My brackets I put rubber on them, but after a while it still started marring the stock paint. Beer runs the quick disconnect style and has a short vid on it.

I haven't had the time to put them in my car yet. I still need the bottle brackets and don't have the money to get them yet. Once I do I will for sure get some pics
