Hey everybody, I just picked up a 6al and was wondering where everyone normally mounts there boxes. I have a 67 with a 289. I was thinking about just mounting it under the windshield fluid container. Any help and maybe some pics would be great. Thanks...
I found a good spot to put mine inside the car above the passenger kick panel. I will mount it using rubber to isolate the vibrations. I thought for awhile about doing it under hood but with the heat and occassional rain/water, I don't trust it. Plus if it gets wet and messes up, you would need to know how to rewire it to get home, so I would recommend mounting it inside the car
On the racing Shelby we mounted it on the firewall, inside the car where the heater used to be....obviously not possible in a street car. I built a restomod
64 1/2 convertible and mounted it between the hood hinge and heater motor on the firewall. I folded a piece of aluminum, attached it to the lip where the cowl and firewall join. The box was mounted with 4 bolts, rubber washers and lock nuts. The wiring harness ran behind the plate, making a natural holder. Looked trick, stayed dry, functioned flawlessly and minimal wiring work was required.
i plan on a stealth mounting for mine, either inside the car or on the passenger rear inner fender apron just below the hood hinges, if i mount it it in the engine bay area i'll paint it satin black to match the engine bay paint
