Default DA Canister Placement??

Any pictures?

Outside or inside engine compartment? Pros and Cons?

What do you use to make the hole in the wheel well and where's the best place to put the hole.

How do you, or do you, patch the hole?

Thanks.

Thanks John. Here's a picture: http://www.mallettcars.com/images/c5-435engine.jpg

Where'd they get those hole plugs?

That's a lot of hose. My shock guy hates as the hoses get longer. Something about all the hose doing is increase hysteresis in the shock so it's best to keep the hoses short.

I used the cannisted brackets from Joe's Racing Products.
http://www.joesracing.com/catalog/item.php/91/
I removed the outer half and then used it as a flat bulkhead mount. It is the nicest mount available, and you simply pull the pin and the cannister is off. I mounted the fronts like this:

and the rears I mounted the same way with the Joe's clamps but mounted to the brake cooling duct. Look closely at the lower right part of the pic:

Gary, those clamps look nice but I'm trying to figure out your engine compartment. Where'd your overflow go??

It is on the other side. the pic above is on the RH side just in front of the dry sump tank. Here is a wider angle shot:
