The plan today was to get the bracket made up and the ignition amps mounted back up. As ever things didn't go quite to plan.
The bracket was mocked up in cardboard, then aluminium, rivnuts added to be able to screw down the amplifiers, but then trying to get the nuts onto the stud to hold the bracket in place it all started to go wrong. Couldn't get them on, lost one to the depths of the engine bay and started hacking at the bracket to be able to get the nuts on and it secured.
Finally got there, but was really not happy with the clearances between regulator (mounted onto engine) and amplifiers (mounted to bulkhead) these are going to move relative to one another as the engine moves on its mounts and at some point would touch.
So plan b time, as my battery is in the boot, I'm going to relocate the Amps to where the battery used to be, I think I've found the connectors for the amps, so will lengthen the wires and add new connectors and move it well out of harms way.
Interesting but frustrating day.
