Not to second guess ya Bill but shouldn't you put some rubber mounts on that thing? I always thought with the vibration on the frame, itd crack the mounts over time.

I could be wrong though! Itd be the first time

I've got some thin rubber that I was going to put between the IC and mount, but I couldn't find it. The header panel is just sitting on there, so when I find the rubber I can pull it off real quick and put it in there.

Just .02 but I would think if the frame would flex it would crack the IC

That is how I originally mounted mine, then before I put it back together had that same thought and rigged the bottom mount to go to the core support also. I'm not sure if its necessary Bill, but a thought.
