[DeTomaso] help - billet bottle bracket

[Art Stephens]

It's been some years since I did mine,  I don't remember why I had so much trouble?  I may have just missed the obvious,  which wasn't the first time that happened.  :-))

    This was a two man job due to the
    mounting design.  I used all kinds of tape to hold everything in place in
    order to mount it by myself,  major pain in the ass.



  I did it myself without any difficulty.  Just marked the location for the first hole (scribing through the bracket), then drilled the first hole.  Slid the bolt through the bracket, reached around behind and installed a nut loosely.  Rotated the bracket into position, scribed the second hole.  Rotated it out of position, drilled the second hole, rotated it back into position, slid the second bolt through, reached around behind and installed the second nut.  Then got out of the engine bay, and tightened the nut with one wrench while holding the bolt with an allen wrench.  From start to finish the job took under 10 minutes....

  Of course my engine wasn't in the car at the time, which may have impacted the situation slightly. :>)
