Most people tend to mount them vertically on the engines bulkhead, near the battery.

Look good, a lick of paint would be nicer though, I just mounted mine using two long screws through diagonal corners and through the inner wing.
Will make it look better later on.
I got my nice blue leads from Matt L 01543 484488.
