Post your custom TL mounting pics!

[McDog]

I'm trying to figure out how to mount a dual channel MSD TL system in my new BOB hull which will be here in a week or so. I've got some carbon fiber to make a plate but I don't know how I'm going to mount it all since there will not be any brackets from a stock ignition and the turf is already on.

Post some pics and help me out people!

XS has a nice set up, All the holes are drilled, coils mount in on the plate. I got one coming for my new TL install.

josh you ever find any pics of the new coil mount? I finally got mine dialed in,I left one deutch connector outside the waterproff box and it was causing the coil to miss fire,somehow it was getting a tiny bit of salt water in it,the whole connector is dielec packed now, 5 mill stroker runs like a sewing machine with it. If this box works out long term like I think it will with tl in surf,I might run sim ones in my other skis,the performance is great ,the response is unreal

I mounted mine after turf. I just used dimple washers and counter sunk screws. The screws on the outside are pretty much flush with the turf but I did have to carefully cut a hole in the turf so it sat on the hull and not the turf.

No pics , but I'll have some soon since I'm buying one. Going TL with the xs1000, going to be sick!

Where does the xmetal plate mount? Stock location?

I had a local shop break a 90* in a piece of stainless I have had laying around. Then I drilled and tapped all the holes to mount the components. It has been working well so far. I will go through it all this winter (preventive maintenance), while im there I may upgrade to a sealed enclosure as many have done.

I had envisioned making a composite plate like yours with a bend for the coils. I'm just trying to figure out where to mount it. I would prefer not to put screws through the turf and tray but I still may do it. I've seen some other setups mounted near the battery and gas tank before but I can't find any pictures or figure out how to do it.

JSS has a battery mount for the coils but I don't know if it incorporates the main brain as well...and the site doesn't show a picture of the install i'm thinking about.

This is what you are talking about:

I have mine mounted to the stock E-Box brackets. This gave me room behind it for wiring and my module. I was wanting to mount my coils on the battery but I decided against it. After thinking about it I could not find any real advantage.

 

[Aircraftsalz]

The problem I found with the coils mounted on the battery is the long run of wires, more connections, more problems in saltwater. I should have my system all done by the end of the month, just waiting on the TL system.

Here is a good price for the System if you havn't purchased yet. $1050.00

Its where I bought mine two years ago, it was dropped shipped from MSD in El Paso, TX.

The problem I found with the coils mounted on the battery is the long run of wires, more connections, more problems in saltwater.

That was my thought. I seriously considered splitting everything up and mounting it where it would be most convenient but I realized that it would take a lot of anal wiring to make it look nice and then if something ever happened, pulling it out would be a nightmare. When your hull gets here, you'll have plenty of time to figure it out....haha

send me some pics of what you end up with josh,I assume your running the ski in mostly salt as well
