The plans call for these two to be mounted right underneath the battery, screwed into platenuts on the two stiffeners and a backing plate. Problem is...I don't think they're going to fit there. There's *just barely* not enough room because the doubler plate for the fuel line (positioned exactly according to plans). I really don't want to take that off...it's riveted in, hard to reach now to drill out, painted, and sealed with RectorSeal. In short, a mess to take off and trim.
I'm thinking of a doubler plate (layered, actually, 4" x 6" .063, 2" x 4" .032) on the firewall, just below and right of the battery (looking forward).
Anyone else have this problem? Anyone have any other ideas for mounting these dudes? Trying to keep wires shorts, obviously, but also accessible.
Thanks...
