It has four counter-sunk holes in it for your fasteners. This mounting plate makes for a convenient drilling template. I simply transferred the holes onto a piece of paper with a permanent marker and then traced the edges of the plate as well. This gave me a good idea not only where I could mount the unit, but also let me tape the paper onto the car for punching and drilling.
It almost looks like I know what I’m doing.

I have no idea what I’m doing.
Again, since I run a passenger seat sometimes and have passengers, there really wasn’t a great place on the passenger side to get this mounted in a way that I could use it while a passenger was present without making the passenger practice their contortionist routine to avoid the hoses, wiring, and ducting.
So, behind the driver seat we went. Fortunately the SC300 has ample space in the rear passenger seat area. I didn’t mount it to the floor behind the driver seat because it wouldn’t leave good room for ducting and allow for my seat to move.
Yes, that’s right, I have a sliding seat bracket installed in this car. After all, I’m still learning, so why not make it comfortable for anyone who might drive it. And, I mean, I put in the effort to keep the powered steering column wiring and adjustments!
I drilled holes in the rubber stoppers and then put the counter-sunk 40mm bolts through. Again, all of this hardware can be found at your local hardware store.

That’s cool, but not $2500 cool. Damn! The collective sum of all my winter upgrades will come in comfortably south of that. Hopefully the price comes down as the tech matures.
