Default Alky Controller Mount...

Where have you all mounted the controller for your ECS/Julio Alky system? Ashtray area is not an option for me

I want to be able to see it so what other options do I have besides knee bolster?

Any pics will be greatly appreciated!

Mine is mounted underneath the steering wheel all the way to the right which is just left of the ashtray area. Like you my ash tray has more important purposes (boost controller + switches for line lock, etc).

We have mine located close to the hood release, out of the way and easy to get to if needed, but once my alky setting was determined to be where it needed to be we have left the setting alone

I liked the half-finished floor mount where it was.....

Oh wait, that was my fault

xlr8shn, I wished I would have known you were in Ames, I was just working in Nevada this morning.

Nice, I was just about to search for this and found this thread before I did so. I like them mounted in the ashtray area but would rather have it somewhere else.

Think I am gonna go with it mounted around the hood latch too.

Thanks guys

That is a great place for it, mine is actually up and under that area tucked away as my mechanic does not want me touching anything, so I could not get a shot for you

I'd like easy access to the switch so I can turn it off if the alky tank runs low.

But if you are tuned for Alky wouldn’t that equal potential problem(s) if you get into it?
