Andy needed a bracket to hold the ecu to the car so i came up with this last night



trimmed down and folded



welded some 10mm plate on so i could tap 6mm threads for the cap heads to hold the ecu



and how it will live in the n/s foot well



might put the grain back , polish or fish scale it
what you guy's think?
