Larry,
Here's a slightly modified version of the response that I sent to brad, but I
forgot to CC the list...
I am aware of the wheel arch mounting, but I'm trying to find a spot that won't
conflict with a roll-bar installations (the roll bar I have also mounts to the
wheel arch). I thought about using one of the bolt holes that would be used for
mounting the roll-bar, but they are too far forward(wrong angle) to make it
practical. That's why I'm trying to find other locations.
Regards - Bryan
