Thread: Mounting shit under dash

Tweet

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

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-

you should edit your title..... Scumbag

Yep, you should clean it up. That is ok on some forums, not here.

That why he calls himself SCUMBAG

Are ya sure he didn't leave an "F" out by mistake? (SHIFT)

how about instead of complaining about what he wrote, we help him? :d

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.

We are helping him.............helping him to understand some of the rules of this forum so he doesn't make the same mistake again. 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.

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.

I'd take some 1X1 angel drill some holes in it, then spot weld that acrossed the inside
of the cab up under the dash. Then run some flat bar from that to the lip on the bottom of the dash. Then you could put stuff all the way acrossed the rails if you wanted too.
You could weld or screw the flat to the rail or angel on the fire wall.
They might even have some sort of clips for that. Kurt
