Default How to mount the Penske remote canisters?

Much as it pains my wallet, I think I'm going with these (DA) for next season.

Anyone have a picture or writeup on how to route the hose(s) and canisters?

Thanks.

c5z leafs.

Wow, searching, lot of different options. I guess you can tuck it all underneath, but harder to reach for adjustment, cut little holes (if you are willing to disassemble), or BIG holes, the latter two for making easy adjustments.

Phew.

Post if you have an especially good idea.

hole saw and then use a modified plug in the hole, allowing the hose to pass through the plug.

I mounted my front ones on the inside of the back of the inner fender. I can easily reach in through the side vents on the fender to adjust compression.
For the rear, I wrapped the canisters in foam to protect them from rocks etc. and mounted them to the aluminum heat shield that is above where the OEM muffler would go.

Fronts are hose clamped to the radiator frame with the adjuster down.

Rears are hose clamped to the rear sway.

Adjustments are easy to reach while lying down.

Don't clamp the middle of the canister, it can cause drag on the piston.
