Where to stick it...

**dmdigital** · 29th April 2008, 06:51 PM

After lots of searching as to what's the best EBC I went and bought a
Tekonsha P3. Now I've got it, I need to work out where to put it in
the D2.

Initially I'd thought I'd be able to fit it next to the driver's A
piller. Doesn't seem to fit there so I'm now open to other suggestions.

Can anyone recommend a good spot? I know I'll end up spending an hour
or so in the cab trying it blu-tac'd to various places before I get it
right.

Sorry didn't explain the TLA for EBC...
...that's Three Letter Acronym for Electronic Brake Controller

Hi DM
Ive fitted my Prodigy to the top of the dash.
I also wanted to put mine at the A pillar.
Bored a hole into the dash for the cables to go into the rubber indent on the centre dash,once thru there its easy to run the cables out of sight.
Will try and post pics 2morrow!!!

Derek,

Our EBC is mounted on the LHS of the main fold down cover under the steering wheel. Located here it is in easy reach to manually activate the brakes but does not interfere with knees. (It also has good access to the relevant wiring)

Note that if the controller is a pendulum type then it needs to be mounted in the correct plane, ie not side on. This and the manual activation, would limit the possible locations.

Hope this helps with the first spot of blu-tac.

Regards
Derek

Pictures would be great. I was thinking the left side of the binnicle might be a good option. I'm not going to get a chance to look again until Thursday now.

See how I go with posting some images.

Hi DM
Sorry about the delay,have had trouble with the gallery during the upgrades.

It cant go any closer to the right without all the wires looking ugly.The wireless is basically the limit to make the wires go straight into the cavity below.The airvent prevents it to the right.
Goodluck
Andrew

Thanks Andy,

I've been thinking where to put the P3 and one advantage over the Prodigy is it can be mounted upto 90 degrees from horizontal as long as it is level and in line with the vehicle. This means the kick panel is OK. I'd assumed you had it mounted closer to the binnicle, but now I see why its over further. I had thought if I removed the instrument cowel I could pass the wires in there. Anyway I'm going to work things out on the weekend and will post pics when done.
