PFC mounting bracket interest

Hey guys, I've come up with a PFC mount that also mounts the datalogit box to keep everything tidy. The datalogit mounts on the back side with enough room for the commander and USB cable to exit near the door sill.

I got the first prototypes today. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for the interest guys. I'm working with the vendor to understand pricing better. Once I make an order lead time is the typical 3wks or so.

Also I'll tell my daughter she needs to do her nails.

Any idea if the Adaptronic would fit?

Alright guys I've got the pricing for this awesome piece. I'm not much of a salesman, I'm an engineer striving to make my FD drive, look and feel better. A loose engine computer is probably not the biggest NVH problem the car has but it doesn't help and I can solve it. Getting to the Datalogit is difficult and with the extra wiring and loose computer it is just a mess in the ECU area.

What makes this piece cool (in my mind) is that it is a proper mount for the Power FC that bolts directly up to the stock mounting points. It also mounts the Datalogit box with screws (not tape or velcro) in a position that the serial port to USB adapter cable comes out very near the door sill, concealing the wires very well.

This PFC mount also has a stud to mount the fan control box (I don't run that btw) and can be used as a grounding tab like the factory ECU mount is grounded.

All that said the pricing is $75 + shipping ($11 USPS Priority)

I need to have 25 pre-paid orders to kick this thing off. If you search me a little you'll see my group buys are on schedule and the part quality is excellent. Lead time from the time I place the order will be about 3wks, the exact time will be published once I place the order since it depends on the vendor availability.
