Ur going to need to drill something to hold the bracket in place. If you use the original hole where you took the screw out, i found that the braket still moved because the treads moved up on the screw.

Its not easy to drill through that thing without the right tools. I broke a bit trying to make a hole in the bracket. I never made it thought so i settled by just eating away at the treads in the original hole. Screw it down tight and it wont move.

Um, I've moved my resevoir over without drilling any new holes in to the frame. I'll try to find a pic that shows the tank location..

I remember having to drill out a nut on the bracket to remove the threading on it and then using that hole to mount it to the engine bay.

Drill?:eek: Follow ghost's instructions. :)
I just used the supplied bracket to re-position the tank to a bolt on the radiator. I've never seen an Injen installed any differently.

No, you drill a small hole (1/4") into the bracket. Then you use the supplied bolt to secure the repositioned bracket into an existing threaded hole in the inner fender well. It basically pivots the tank 90 degrees. If you decide to revert back to stock, no one will ever know the Injen had been there.

You don't need to drill. There is a hole in the bracket already that you can use.

i did the same thing. i tried using a bracket, but it never felt that secure.

i drilled out the threaded hole in the bracket with a 6 mm bit (if you dont it wont tighten down well) and used the stock screw.
