This way you can mount it flush against the battery box. I also cut out a notch to better clear the TR3 choke cable. Make the notch a lot bigger than you think it should be to avoid the choke cable having to bend. I used copper plumbing fittings from Lowes to reduce the fittings down to 3/8” rigid copper pipe which has a 0.5” OD to fit the TR3 heater hoses.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color="#1f497d" face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> I have seen Maradynes mounted to the trans tunnel, but I don’t like the look.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color="#1f497d" face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> I mounted my Maradyne to the back of the battery box using #10 SS sheet metal screws.
