Should i move the nitrous bottle?

When i bought the car the guy had it where the ttops are, but i kinda want to put the ttops plus have the bottle. Its a 10 lbs bottle and i was wondering if it would be better if i change the location and put it in the spare tire location? Also im not sure what way the bottle is suppose to tip. towards the valve or toward the bottom of the bottle. I'm pretty sure its toward the bottom but just making sure...Also, should i invest in one of those auto valves for the tank?

Thanks

There are plenty of places you can mount the bottle. Another option, if you are dropping the fuel tank anytime soon is to mount it on the shelf. Or inbetween the back seats...that way you could just turn around and open the valve whenever you need it. Just make sure the bottle is mounted so the the **** is slightly higher than the bottom of the bottle. This is to ensure the pick up tube pulls the liquid nitrous rather than vapor. If you are looking for a remote bottle opener, take a look at ours...it has two quick pull pins for easy removal for refills or incase an emergency requires you to manually close the bottle.

We offer a special mount for the spare tire area or you can simply bolt it to the inner fender well.

860 spare tire mount is a nice piece. So guess it depends if you want to run a remote bottle opener, or only use it at the track, or back seat as mentioned for easy opening.
I had devilish thoughts cross my mind when I had my passenger seat out. I almost said why not and just stick it there. Shotgun! No go sit on the floor in the back.
