Ok I had a digital6+, that I traded for a 6al and some cash since I will no longer need the timng retard feat. now that I have a tweecer. I had the digital6+ mounted under the air filter on the flat floor part under the hood, I have been moving some wires and remounting some things to clean up the wires. I now have the TFI modual mounted on this floor part and there just is not enough room for the fatter 6al box.

1. I want to mount the 6al either on the firewall but how did you guys that did this do it? did you take off the plastic piece ( I see them mounted right above the master cyl) on the firewall to mount it or what?

2. the other idea is to get a piece of plate steel and make a bracket to mount it by the radiator under the radiator cover and have a cutout so you can see the 6al but look clean. Probem is I want to get a bigger radiator someday and don't want to be in a situation were I cannot mount the 6al there anylonger.

I am leaning to #1 right now but am not sure how to mount it there, thanks for any input/ideas on this and sorry for the wind-ed post.

I've got a 6AL sitting in my garage awaiting install, and I've had the same kinds of questions. I thought about putting it on the firewall, but it seems like that's a pretty hot place to be putting an electronic box. I saw a post about someone putting it inside the driver fender -- so sometime soon I'm going to pull the fender liner and peak inside. That might be a great place to put it, if you don't need to see it .

That is a good idea under the drivers fender, and I have not had the time or weather to do that side yet as far as hiding wires so that would have to be my option #2 and the radiator is now at #3.

but I would like to know how the guys with the firewall did theres.

thanks for the reply HairyCanary.

I made a bracket and mounted it in the driver's fender. Basically, Bolt the bracket just in front of the inner fender in the wheel well. This is still accessible to change the pill if needed and you don't have to look at it. I have since reinstalled my inner fenders so I don't have any pics.

I mounted min ein the drivers side fender. Had it there for over 1 year. No issues. You will see that it is kind of protected. Of course I drive mine about 5,000 miles a year. But I have driven it in rain.
