The most BASIC pfc question

How did you guys mount the pfc on the car. You can't use the stock ecu mounting bracket and all they give you is that lame-*** double sided tape. So how did everyone mount it behind the kick panel??

I removed a plastic bracket behind the stock ECU and mounted the FAN MOD black box there. Then the PFC just sits on the floor against the side rail with the plastic
inside panel holding it in place.

I used the stock ecu's lower mount brkt & attached it to the Pfc with double sided tape.
I got the tape from a hobby store, it's used on R/C cars to tape the servos to the carbon chassis. Very strong bond.
The problem with the stock ecu top brkt is that it will cover the plug for the commander, so unless you trim it, it wont fit.
When its all plugged in & with only the lower the mount holding it I found it rock steady.

Just flip the ecu upside down with the logo facing the outside of the car. The commander cable will run down and under the carpet.

I kept the PFC facing rite side up, logo facing out toward the driver, and used a nibbler to cut out some of the sheet metal that was preventing me from connecting the commander to the PFC then I used double-sided tape to hold it to the stock brackets.
