I'f you want to do it that way what I did was unbolt the E brake assy & slide it out so I could insert an "L" shaped bracket, the bracket had two holes that the studs mounting the E brake passed thru & then on the other side of the "L" I drilled two more holes & tacked a couple nuts to the back side... This gives a very solid mount at the firewall end then I replaced the bolt at the front of the E brake assy with a length of all-thread & used a nut to secure the E brake & two more nuts (one front & one back) to support the plate The MSD was mounted to.. Oh & yeah I cleaned the wiring up, that picture was taken early in the mock up phase... "The Armies of our ancestors were lucky, in that they were not trailed by a second army of pencil pushers."

I mounted the box right-side up and on the actual tray, for there was no way I was drilling holes in a virgin inner fender. No moisture being trapped this way either. Easy access to the RPM chip too. 6830083-batttraymsd.jpg (35 downloads)
