    I put mine right next to the radiator.

    That mess on the far side.

    Here is a better picture. I used some 1/8" aluminum and made a plate to mount the controller and relays to. I used circuit breakers instead of fuses.

    Mine required a 70 amp relay kit, which I got from Ron Francis. It had to be tied to the trinary switch on the AC. My trinary switch is on the AC drier (in engine compartment), but I installed the relay under the dash. Keeps the engine compartment a little cleaner, and keeps all the connections out of the weather.

    Hopefully I can patch in a pic of the above mentioned A/C relay and fuse. That is the Ron Francis Express wiring panel on the left kickpanel, btw. Made for my car, it has a serial number on it registered in my name.[​IMG]
