I'm building a B-17 and want to keep the throttle servos on the front side of the firewall. Initial thought is to mount them on phenolic sheet mounts driectly on the engine mount lugs. Photos will show idea. The reason is to keep throttle set up as simple as possible and in an easy to get to location.

I would like inputs from those of you who have actually used a similar setup, perhaps not an engine mounted servo but at least installing servos on the front side of the firewall. How successful was your setup, what kind of servos did you use, what are the best servos with respect to vibration, etc.

Thanks,
