After you have determined the location and orientation of the nitrous bottle, use the following
procedure to install the bottle:
2.4.1 Street Car Installations
1. Determine the location of the bottle within the confines of the rear of the vehicle.
2. Once a mounting location has been determined, raise the vehicle (following all
safety practices involved in working on a vehicle from under the vehicle) and verify
that there are no fuel lines, fuel tank(s), brake lines, emissions equipment, or
structural members in the way of potential mounting bolt locations.
3. Using the mounting bracket bolt holes as templates, mark an area for each of the
two (2) brackets with chalk, metal marking pen, scribe, or marking pen to locate the
bolt placements for drilling.
4. Drill two (2) 3/8” mounting holes for each bracket.
5. Install the bottle mounting brackets using Grade 8 bolts, nuts and flat washers (not
included with kit).
6. Tighten the mounting bolts using a thread locking chemical (not included with kit).
7. Install the rubber insulators within the bottle brackets.
8. Slip bottle into the mounting brackets.
9. Tighten bracket clamps as shown in the picture.

Remember, mount the short
bottle bracket at least 1” from
the bottom of the bottle, and
never cover any of the bottle
label with a bottle bracket.
Do not attempt to install the
bottle in the bracket without
the rubber insulator. The bottle
hoop on the bracket is
designed to include the
thickness of the insulator.
