I have a 1990 Mazda Miata (MX-5) - does anyone think it would be possible to place the 3L bottle in the magazine/map holder behind the seat and still use the drinking tube?

Dr.McCoyI'm pretty sure you can replace the tube part of most hydration bladders with aquarium tubing... Might be worth a shot?

EZ_livingPossibly. Not really sure I want to be sucking liquid through non-food-grade plastic though. I wonder where you can find BPA/PVC free tubing by the foot.

Dr.McCoyAquarium grade tubing is about the same as food grade...fish are pretty sensitive to chemicals. You can buy a few different types of tubing that would be just fine, easy to swap out. I don't have a 3L to measure but the stock length on the 2L hose is about 36", about 24-26 of which would be functional length that extends beyond the top of the reservoir. Too short for what you want, I think, but I don't think any bladder on the market will long enough out of the box. These are great bladders and this is really a killer price on them.

StepbystepAwesome, thanks for the numbers! I'm gonna go measure to see if it'll work. Another option I was considering is mounting a carrier to the headrest (though I'm not sure if that's incredibly wise).

Dr.McCoyAre you making like a Mad Max/Fury Road-esque style Battlecar in which you will be properly fueled/hydrated? Do you like to get Shiny and Chrome, by chance?
