Default Wasted spark, coilpack bracket

I've bought one of MSD's wasted spark kits. there was a post a while back where someone used some kind of ford bracket to mount the coilpack i just cant find it.
Dont want to just screw it to my inner wing.
Need some inspiration then! Where or how have you mounted this?
Post up your pics if poss..

Mines welded to the strut brace then powdercoated - i think it has to be so far away from the map sensor to prevent interference - i know a few have mounted there on the original coil bracket but i couldn't hide the leads due to 909 leads being too short if your leeds are long enough that an easy way of doing it.

Would having the map sensor too close to the coilpack stop the car from running?

You can certainly use a zetec one, but are only around Ł35 new from ford, genuines tend to be slightly better than a lot of pattern, but another good one to go for is the ACCEL coilpack, around Ł50, part number 140018.
