Where to put the two System 32 ECU boxes was a bit of a problem. I thought they wouldn’t fit in the rollover space because the vent bottle and lines were there.
Its those two boxes at the top
After realizing this was not going to work in the hellhole, I did think I might make it work up here after all. Its a lot of ‘stuff’ in a small space. There are also cables and wires that will now have to go down the sides and I think the rear seat cushion will need a little extra reduction.
I made up a couple of brackets from angle and added crush tubes so I could tighten up the eventual locknuts.
As an aside I did try out the connectors in the wire loom on the boxes. One turned out to be loose! All it needed was about one thread of the fitting removed to get a tight fit. Imagine the fun of a loose connection in an ECU? Intermittent engine? Maybe not so much fun…
I used FLOX to secure the fittings to the rollover after the usual sanding and prep work.
It fits! This is now rock solid. The plugs to the firewall can go top left of the picture. Or maybe bottom left or maybe split between the sides at the top? I am going to wait until I see where the liquid cooling bottles go on the other side before a decision. This one is done for now.
