Mounting Things under dash
Hey guys what did you do for mounting things under your dash. I don't
want any holes in my new firewall. So I need some ideas for universal
type mounts for under dash stuff.
Thanks
Scumbag

It mostly depends how sticky it is!
Seriously what did you have in mind? If it isn't heavy, more options are available."

I am going a little overboard on my build (I think), but I just finished (this past weekend) bending 1" X 1" sq. tubing and putting it under the Dash (Welding it to the pinch welds), and then triangulating it to the "A" Pillars-it will take away any Cowl shake as well as offering a place to mount stuff-just a thought-Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?

Yep, you should clean it up.

SB,I had the same problem with the 34 I drilled holes and counter sunk for flat head screws and used a mounting bracket to mount a lot of stuff (better word) ac/ht,coil,msd box,etc.I then ran the hood welt over the screws and it was hid .That made for a good solid set up.Don D

Besides, when someone posts like that I lose any interest in helping solve the problem.

I managed to keep firewall clean by going thru floor with wiring and steering. For inside wiring, I attached 90 degree angles to side kick panels and attached same thickness plywood in front of the firewall. then I mounted all my wiring to this front panels. I spent a lot of time researching what side pass or drivers. Even asked people on here with similar car."Chance favors the prepared mind"
Car Cruisin spectator remark about my suede paint :
"That will look nice when it is painted"
(it is painted).

Nice job heatwave, that's the cleanest firewall I've seen in a while. You and Ken do fine work at hiding all the busy stuff! Originally Posted by heatwave

Thanks Guys for the ideas.
I'm truly sorry for the &%$#
Word in the beginning. I tried
to change it, but it would not
change the main title. Once
again I am very sorry.

I dunno. I am so torn.
I mean it is one thing to have a nice spotless clean forum, but ..
Aw what the heck. I can't seem to form my answer. Probably because I am bucking feat from work.
PS.. I HATE running 90s for wiring. Always a pain in the posterior..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.
