Or if it's a sat night and u get a flat and monday's a holiday...yup, not looking good unless there's a place nearby to get towed to that can fix it.

It shouldn't be that hard to make. Basically a flate plate for the fuse holder to bolt to. Then just a couple angles to lower it below the strut brace and flat surface to bolt to the under side of the brace. Kind of a Z shape if viewed from the side.

i think i see what you're saying....like a swing or something for the fuse to sit on, attached to the sway bar

The top flat piece will bolt to the bottom of the brace. Then make a 90 degree bend to get the offset below the brace then make 90 degrees again for the fuse hold to be bolted to.

anyone have any tips on where i could mount my component crossovers? i have mbquart crossovers and they're pretty big, any tips?

by **Gunman** » Sun Dec 08, 2002 6:34 am

the most common method is to mount them inside the door panel, mounting them anywhere else woud mean you would have to make two runs inside your door trough the boot jams, which can require some patience

by **ICUFG** » Sun Dec 08, 2002 6:42 am

Peter I recommend you place them in a plastic bag and seal them just in case water runs down in the door.

by **Gunman** » Sun Dec 08, 2002 6:46 am

well, if you decide to mount them 'inside"the door (never recomended), that can help but for the most part if you have them mounted between the door panel and the door you should be safe.
