This planned already but we have not solved the unequal height caused the protruding bolt head if a water pump is assembled below. There will be a height difference of ~2mm. May be the rounded bottom of the tank wall provides a perfect solution.

We will supply four double length acetal stand-offs and four longer bolts.

Richard, are the caps vented like the Howerton Engineering tanks are?

The cap has a label with instruction regarding venting. Cap is not vented from factory.

The bracket is ergonomically designed to minimise installation time. Offering chassis floor or cross-rail mounting options. Four holes at the centre section of the bracket is intended for mounting an aquatec pump below.

Uses little space...

I'm thinking out loud here

Will need to check for space but thinking I could also use this as a buddy tank
For my existing howerton mini r53 boot install, perhaps mounting direct to the outside wall

Sound possible for a retro fit?

Outside wall?

The tank is 13" x 13" x 2.6", check the side panel of the boot.

Here is a trial fit to a smart car:

Using outside facing sheet metal as the fixing point.

The sloping seat back is the challenge on a r53

Will be a very tight fit,

Might work if on slight angle or offset say -10 degrees from vertical

I have emailed you and jeff some pics of my mock up
Will be better than a thousand words here
