Thread the 2 holes for a 6x1.0 metric thread, the clean the bottom of the tank really well, then use flux made for steel (not plumbing flux) and solder the plate onto the bottom of the tank.

Not the response I expected from you - but still factual. (I thought you were going to comment on how the subject line sounds like an adult version of Ren and Stimpy).

The Raptor petcock we recommend is fine in the normal location...the stock vacuum petcock is larger and it is not uncommon that you have to remove the petcock before you try and take the fuel tank off....as the back of the vacuum petcock hits the top frame rail and won't let you get the tank off. The Raptor petcock is smaller and doesn't hit the frame when you remove the tank. Nobody has every put one on the other side....I have no idea what might get in the way over on that side.

A smaller petcock may work fine for your nitrous......as you are not going to need a reserve.

That's kinda what I was thinking because it will give me more room
