My mounting suggestions are not set in stone for the single units...but I think my little bracket idea will make it easier to mount in differ locations, and will let you mount them straight up and down easier.

...it's not a ground breaking idea...(real simple, don't be dissappointed when you see it )

Saikou kun: I am also interested in the pro weighted shift knob. That knob will fit any US Evolution? You noted that it will fit a MR, although I am sure the thread is the same, I just wanted to make sure.

Also, I tried to add my name to the ever growing list of guys waiting for the cans through your website but, it wouldn't let me. Please add my name, I'll PM you my info.

Bracket concept

*Updated the list, evo8dad

Also, here is a photo of the prototype mounting bracket. Here is the idea:

1) The single cans will have 4 matching holes so that the bracket can be mounted at 90 degree increments.

2) The mounting side of the bracket has 1 larger hole for the stud that sticks out by the motor mount (PCV side). I still have to double check this mounting location. It has been used before. The other can can go on the firewall next to the master cylinder, close to that little aluminum tag that is riveted there.
*the smaller hole can be used to add another screw to keep the bracket from moving.

3) Instead of being made of 1 single flat bar, it has a round rod connector so that it is easier to custom bend in all directions. It is strong, but it is bendable with some effort.

Check out the pic, and let me know what you think. I don't have a demo can ready to show it mounted.

Mr. Saikou ^^V

***The 2 locations I mentioned are only suggestions, but this bracket should make it easier to use other places, and to keep the cans mounted straight anywhere.

That sounds perfect I like the fact that you are finding specific mounting locations and fabricating the brackets to work in those locations rather than just making a bracket and saying here it is now find a mounting location.

Keep up the good work and thanks for adding me to the waiting list. Now get back to work
