Default Pics wanted: Engine swap PCM mounting

I know I've seen pictures of a LS1 swapped car with a PCM mounted to the passenger side inner fender, but I can't for the life of me find it. It would help if you could search for pictures within a given forum...

Is this the one you are looking for? Its made from two 1" angles mounted between firewall and inner skirt with F body plastic mounting bracket riveted to them, overflow tank has 2" removed from outboard half.

I was thinking I had seen pictures of the PCM mounted to the inner fender, which is the route I went. I don't have pictures at the moment, but I mounted it low, you can just barely see it through the fender vent. I was just a little worried about interferance with the HVAC housing since I currently just have an aluminum plate covering the hole at the moment. There is enough slack in the wiring that I can always move it in the future.

IMO, I like to keep my electronics cool and dry, even if the factory don't seem to care much, I would put it behind the map pocket, like I did in my '72 with FI on it.....
