In the process of putting the car back together I'm trying to solve known "issues" as I can. One thing I was unhappy with was that I had mounted the Edelbrock ECU to the back side of the firewall with a couple of strips of industrial velcro tape. It worked "OK", but several times I had found the ECU loose, likely due to the "pull" of the two big wire bundles. One of the beauties of working with a fiberglass body is that one can use bondo or construction adhesive as "glue" for most any material to install a base. Bondo sets quick and seems to be more permanent in my experience. I had envisioned a steel plate with a couple of tapped holes and a metal strap over the ECU, but one thing led to another and I ended up in the wood shop area with some old walnut panels that are at least 100 years old. The area is pretty tight, but I ended up with a base with a top overhang about 1/2" taller than the box, and a bottom support about 1/2" shorter with a 1/4x20 threaded insert inside. The top overhang has a rabbeted groove that the cover slips into, and then pinches the ECU with a polished socket head bolt. Left the bottom edge "natural" for grins. It's functional, and if anyone sticks their head under the dash the look's not too shabby for a quick banged together contraption
