If it's the same as Georges, then go here http://www.geocities.com/george_tlc/, if not then get in touch with Christo or his shop. I'm sure they have some pics around.

I like the post SC bracket and bottle setup. Christo mentioned possibly putting together a Dual Bat kit, anyone heard anything about that?

When I installed the Slee washer bottle relocation kit I had two problems which I was able to resolve.

1) When mounted according to instructions the bottle was smashed up against the diagnostic port. I then moved the diagnostic port to a higher mounting position but the bottle still smashed against the port.

2) The cruise control throttle cable was pinched between the bottle and the front relocation bracket.

I solved the first problem by mounting the bottle on the forward side of the rear bracket. This moves the bottle forward away from the diagnostic connector. In order to do so I needed to make another spacer, as the spacer supplied is sized to mount the bottle on the rear side of the rear bracket.

I solved the second problem by making a spacer for the forward bracket to provide more space between the bottle and the bracket, eliminating the squeeze on the cruise control cable.

I made the spacers out of 1 inch diameter delrin rod, which I already had laying around. Use of the spacers requires longer mounting bolts.

Here is a pic.

wow i thought i was just crazy when i mounted mine. I was woundering how i was gonna run that cable since its inbetween the bracket and the bottle. i drilled a notch in the bracket. (sorry christo) and then ruan the cable in that notch that way i could tightn everything down and not smash anything.
everything hooked up and works great.
