      Yep, that's me... [img]smile.gif[/img]

      I keep meaning to take the board out sometime and trace it on something, and show some measurements, but I haven't yet.

      It lays on the bracket that's by the antenna. I had to bend/angle the bracket just a little, so it would be flat against the bottom of the board. Then I got two of those threaded clips. Like you find on fenders, fenderwells, and front clip stuff in general, that are used on some of the cars slightly older than ours. (and bolts to fit...) The clips fit right in those slots on the bracket by the antenna.

      The other side of the board fits under the jack, and the jack holds it down. So that's how I secured it.

      I ran the line through an existing plug in the bottom, and drilled a new hole for the blow down tube.

      You can rough it in with a piece of cardboard. Figuring out the shape, and the holes for the antenna bracket anyway.

      Then transfer it to the wood. Set the wood in place. Then set the bottle (in the brackets) onto the wood, get it like you want it, and trace around the brackets and the holes that are toward you. Then take the wood back out and drill the bracket holes in it.

      I had to take a bunch more off the top right corner to make room for the blowdown tube.
