Mounting Air Tank 02 ZR2
I hooked up a set of Hadley air horns and I put the 5 gallon tank in the back. I am looking for a relatively inexpensive way to mount it (ie. keep it from flying around in an emergency situation). It runs lengthwise behind the passenger back seat. Will post pics later, but if anyone has any generic ideas, they would be appreciated.
EDIT: Pics posted below.

I don't want to bolt it flat to the floor because I want to be able to access the drain plug - located on the bottom of the tank.

Work for me as well, but not when clicked from the links above. I had to copy & paste into a new browser tab.
Does it have mounts like that on both sides?? Looks like it was intended to be mounted between the frame rails somewhere...
I would get some tank mounts with clamp style hold downs to support it on the floor and then pipe up a ball valve to the drain, locating it somewhere accessible. You could even have a pipe extending from the ball valve to under the truck somewhere to vent the tank outside the passenger compartment when you wanted to drain off any condensation.

Thanks for the recommendations. If you're having trouble with the pics, right click, select Copy Link Location, and then paste it. This will get around Tripod's silly linking block.
I think I might go the "feet" route. This may work the best for me.
