I've got dual LSE Plasma IIIs and the boxes are mounted to the upper part of the firewall on the right side of the center panel rib. I used spacers to stand off from the firewall and stack them.

Observation
William, do you have enough room to get a D-sub on and off the top connector? It may be the camera angle but it looks like there's not much space between the sub-panel and the top connector.
Also, for what it's worth, in my -7A slider, I mounted my LSE module between the firewall & sub-panel. I planned to have the BNC's facing forward just like yours. However, when I ran the wires back from the crank sensor they were to short. I ended up having the BNC's facing aft and the D-subs facing forward.
I routed the crank sensor wires down along the sump, I suppose if I had routed them over the top the engine the wires would have been long enough.

A 90 degree DB15 hood resolved that issue.

Lightspeed installation
http://picasaweb.google.com/ErnstFre...eat=directlink
This installation will require a couple of angles to be added to the underside of the instrument panel area.
I want to be able to access the plugs and BNC connectors without contorting myself under the panel area. I did not want to cut too many holes into the subpanel since this is a great place to mount instrument accessories.

Big Tubes?
Nice installation.
With that much spacing from the firewall you should not have
a heat problem.
What are those big tubes coming out above the D-sub connector?
