I recently became obsessed with mounting an M11 Decon apparatus in our 71 deuce. After scouring the threads, I discovered that there was not a lot of info on the “proper” mounting location. I’m sure the motor pool stuck them wherever they could at times similar to fire extinguisher locations!
I found a beautiful NOS M11 at the Weare Rally in July at a good price, complete with the hanger and spare cartridge. Now for the correct bracket. Mike Virilli of Big Mikes Motor Pool came through for me. Not only did he find the correct bracket but it was NOS, still in the sealed box with fasteners and instructions! Christmas was here! My kids do not understand how one could get so excited about a green metal bracket. The instructions have probably been copied from the originals 50 times so the text and reference measurements are a little hard to read but the birds eye diagram was very useful in placement. Basically the rearward outer bolt hole is 6 inches out from the center line of the shifter and nearly flush with the forward edge of the shifter opening in the trans tunnel. Drilled the requisite 4 holes in the trans tunnel and done. Why a decon bottle? Why not! This is my first original post and the information provided by all the members is priceless.
