I Can't leave well enough alone.
 
I just can't stop touching my Nitrous system. :nod: Today I decided since I don't race on the street (very rarely drive on street) I don't need the bottle within my reach. I have removed the bottle from where it was and will now mount it in the center compartment.
This will allow the bottle top to be sticking out and a lot easier to remove and install for refilling. Right now it needs to be loosened and removed from turning backwards in the drivers seat.

I am Gorilla gluing a piece of 3/4" MDF to the center compartment for the mounts. :nod: I won't be to the track for quite a while since they have just started the replacement of the local facility. Needless to say, I am not in any rush. :D

Looks like this now

Looking at something vaguely similar to Roberts install on his 97.

Alright so far I have moved the Nitrous line AND installed the MDF mounting platform AND the mounts. :joecool::D The purple cylinder is just for fitting purposes as it's empty. :D

Not as nice as Roberts but much better than when I started. :nod:

Started out like this.

I should find pics of the fiberglass cover I made for my old 15lb bottle mount. Talk about a cluster to make something nice looking :nod:
