It might be OK where it is. It will be subject to more water that way. If you are in CA it probobly will be fine. Be sure it is covered behind it from tire spray.

yeah i was thinking i would seal the box to the mounting plate with silicone. and maybe welding some sort of guard around it.
i mounted it there to keep it as incunspicuas as possible(theft prevention) and to keep the radiator open for air flow.

add another lower bar, those blinkers are more of a target!

hawaii500_1999 · « **Reply #7 on:** Aug 19, 2002, 09:39:01 AM »

yeah those are just temp right now. they are actually held on by one bolt and a zip tie. i just wanted to drive the little beast so i rigged the signals and license plate.

Zip ties=High tech balin wire.

Bailing wire is used for high temp zip tie applications.

Just get some more tube, bend it, and brace / cage it up

I feel the best solution is to mount the solenoid box under the hood and extend the wires so the plug/receptacle can be mounted on the bumper/grill somewhere. It's a pretty easy mod and it is the best way to go all around

check this mod out for a possible solution to your blinker blues

Extend the main power wires.

That could get pricey

How about getting a momentary on DPDT switch and mount it in the dash 8) Then get some small wires for the controller and rewire the switch. Then there will be no need to get out the controller. BTW I wired in another switch to override so my daughter would not accidently "use" it.

another route i was thinking about is taking the sylinoids out of the box and mounting them directley to the rad. support behind the grill then building a new cover and bring the control recepticale oout to the grill or bumper.

Thanks for your positive feedback.

Getting longer cables isn't that costly. I'd say about 10-15 dollars at your local parts store or Wal Mart

Just eat Top-Ramen for dinner the next two nights, instead of going to Burger King
