Anyone know if 2 10 lb bottles would fit in the well?

I would have to look, but you should only need 1.

One won't guarantee me enough for a full day at the track and I won't have any way to store a spare at the track.

Gotcha. Looking at it from the bottom it should fit. I would make something to mount the bottles to and then slide it in the hole. I just opened that door didnt I! lol

Do you have a brand that you are leaning towards? Also, do you have the diameter of the hole as well as the depth?

I can't believe I just typed that...

Here is a link to a 10 lb bottle. It has the dimensions on there too. You'll have to go measure your tire well. I hope this helps.

I doubt you'll be able to lay the cover flat with the bottles in place.

I'll have to get the measurements. Not being able to lower the lid is a deal-breaker.

Diameter and depth are important when examining holes!

I am about to put this kit on Ebay. Don't know if you are interested at all.

Not as of yet, thanks though. Still researching.

Yes you can fit dual bottles in the spare tire well. Also, unless you are using some REAL tall bottle brackets then they will fit without pushing the floor liner up. Any normal bottle bracket should hold them well below hitting the floor liner. One additional item worth noting is that if you have plans to get one of the special tandem bottle brackets then it might not fit due to the center being higher than the sides where you would normally mount a single bottle bracket.
