Gameson,

Interresting that you are asking...

I had to have 10 brackets made in order for the laser cutter to even do it.
I figured "what the hell" since I was kind of obsessed with the idea to do something that apparently nobody on this board has done before.

But I also didn't want to upset the folks on this board who make a living out of selling parts for our cars.

That's why I didn't want to post them as being for sale, except for maybe to show them to some of the local crowds to see if they like them...

I wanted something that doesn't require a harness bar (since I don't have one) and still looks like it's part of the Elise.

So I spent some time doing measurements, some pencil drawings and finally detailing everything in CATIA to have it laser cut.


I also went through several different iterations of attaching the bracket to the firewall. I had to order a few different types of hardware until I found a system I liked...
So if you ever have a question about fastening systems - I'm kind of an involuntarely expert by now!

But I found a system which I like since it isolates the V1 from the vibrations of the firewall as well as it doesn't involve any drilling of new holes...
