Looking for pictures of clean setups where guys have mounted their fan controllers, relays, fuses, etc.

One of my winter projects is to come up with a clean, factory looking mounting board for my fan controller, fuse and 75a relay setup. Controller has adjustable temp control so would like it somewhere accessible.

Anyone have a nice clean setup? I need some mounting ideas

ya know, this is probably the biggest hang up i have about e-fans in our cars is that just about every install ive seen in person has been a hack job just to get it to work. Id like to get one on my car this winter but with other projects and the fact that a mark or Taurus fan is hard to come by around here i doubt it will happen.

I kinda want to tuck it out of sight. Just want a nice clean method of doing so. That's why i was wondering if anyone made any mounting boards, or boxes, or anything? Want to mount it in a spot that will stay cool as well

I was thinking about the Mark or Taurus fan in the stock shroud thing and mounting the controller on the bottom side of the shroud kinda out of sight. Then i could run my power and other wires around the frame and up the inner fender to the battery or solenoid.

Mine is mounted where the airbox used to be. Doesn't look bad, although I could have hidden a few of the wires a little more. I'll get a pic up later

I still got my air box, so i can't use that spot. I started a 4x6 plate and put my relay, controller and fuse on it. Just need a good place to mount it.

Down by where the coal canister or whatever they call it used to be. Mine has to be out in the open, it's a Flex-A-Lite unit with a rotary adjustment knob.
