Default Pics of the inside of the Spare Tire Hump -> WaterMeth

I've seen several post asking about what was in it? Well it was in the way of my WaterMeth, so I had to trim some. I will get some sheetmetal and seal it back up, but thought ya'll might want to see what is inside.

Default So... In order to salvage some storage space in the trunk...

You removed the floor setup back there to put that tank in.

And had to cut some holes in doing it.




Are you going to fab something up so that it's at least somewhat purty to look at back there?

Default I had gutted the back a long time ago...

weight savings, the only thing left in my trunk was the piece that goes under the convertible top covering my battery.

I'll get some sheet metal and bend it up, use some pop rivets on it (NO Welding it's above the gas tank) and then a little bondo / black paint and it will look fine.

Default C'mon, just drop the gas tank and weld it, it can't be THAT hard.... ; )

Thats a pretty wild looking water/meth tank. Come with the kit? Who makes it?

I'll be working on my meth tank tonight. Stainless steel. It'll be up where the battery used to be, as my battery is where your meth tank is.
