I want to mount it on top of the factory fuseblock, a nice flat location. I would drill through the plastic and hold the fuseblock in place with nuts'n bolts. Its all just plastic underneath and is a great location to mount it close to the battery. I would leave enough slack wire so that I can remove the OEM fuse cover for servicing reasons. Here's the problem , its tall. I'm having a hard time telling if its touching the hood or not, I dont' want to damage the hood nor crack the plexi on the fuseblock.
Here's where I want to put it:
From the front , especially when looking at the picture I think its going to clear. In real life its darn hard to tell.
From da side

The thing with the hood its deceptively higher at the very edge where it sits on the fender. I slowly closed the hood and it seemed to sit flat. I can fasten the hood closed on the lock and again it "looks" like its sitting flat to me. What I did as a test was put a section of scotch tape upside down on the fuseblock and closed the hood slowly so the air doesn't move it. I did it 2x and both times when I raise the hood its stuck to it, not firmly but its there. This tells me its either barely touching or the air pulls it up but either way its darn close.
Alternate locations: The only other places I can see mounting this block are just forward of the fuse locations or where the arrow points against the shock tower. Either location will require a little custom fabrication of a mount, more of a PITA again.
What is this piece here ? I would have to fasten the bracket to the section on one end if I mount as per the pics above.
