Is there a best practice I should be aware of here as I continue to plan this out?
Thanks! |

@mepstein - true, yes, but a bit embarrassing I got my parts confused .
Anymore pictures of how you guys mounted them on the inside to the backpad? Did you weld some mounting screws on the firewall and then have them poke through the backpad? Thanks ( and happy Saturday to everyone ) |

Thanks ( and happy Saturday to everyone ) I wouldn’t mount the dme until you get all the wires figured out. Then you can see what you really have to work with It’s much better to put your car together and get it running before you set the interior. It’s also useful to have an old seat for testing. Can’t tell you how many times the techs at the shop would sit down on a finished interior with grease on their clothes or a tool in their back pocket. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |
