Bob,

If it were me, I would just screw it on a piece of ply using the three holes on the boad and attached the ply anywhere on the jet with velcro.

I use the long #2 socket head screws from Dreamworks and standoffs made by cutting short pieces of 4mm fuel line. Insert the screw through the board, place the tubing over the screw, and then screw it down to a piece of ply. The standoffs have to be about 3/16" long to leave room for the tallest component on the back side of the board.

Regards,

Jim

Order the fancier one... Seriously, pay that much for a turbine and we get this little circuit board thats hard to mount? When I got the new, smaller one with my P180, I didn't even know what it was for. The LED's were so tiny. Guess it would be good for a tight spaces install, but I like the finished look on things.

If it was mine, that's what I would do but it's not mine.

I did the same.

Lance Campbell also made some pretty cool machined aluminum mounts....I learned from his install. Thanks Lance!
