I put mine in place where I had clamped the firewall in place and it was spot on. Makes me feel better knowing for sure though.
    Wait until you get to the wiring! At least that's the least favorable for me.

    Hey CaptB, I am one of those rare birds that actually like wiring. It can get frustrating at times but a good schematic is your friend, assuming you know how to read them. They are like looking at a road map to me. Finding shorts in cars for 35 years tends to give you a good feel for it. I'm going to need to integrate the FFR chassis harness with my LS3 harness. Can't wait. I bought a connector kit with several 1 wire up to 6 wire male and female connectors and it came with the crimp tool and weather seals with male and female terminals.
