Need to mount the ECU for the fuel injected LS1 I'm installing into my '61 Impala.
I wanted to mount it, and the relay/fuse box, on the drivers inner fender. Simple flat bracket with one bend and I wanted it horizontal and level. The inner fender is very curvey though. I didnt wanna drill holes till I knew how it was gonna work out. So I took some rough measurements for the 4 posts, and printed up a set (cheap PLA). put down some masking tape and just hot glue the standoffs where I think I want them. of course they are all kitty whompous and different heights. But now its a simple task of measuring the tilt angle, and height offsets and print a corrected set. Test them out with my CAD (Cardboard Aided Design) bracket and now stare at it for about a week to convince myself that is really how I want it. In the end, I'll either machine aluminum ones, or print in Nylon or something.
