    Anyone have a good source for a Bussmann RTMR mount for first gens? I've seen a bunch of second gen stuff online, but I'm good with my 2000 :)

    The problem with the 98-00s (and maybe earlier) is that they have the large charcoal canister where everyone mounts their fuse blocks.

    Thanks, that is exactly the type of thing I'm looking for (I just don't have the tools to fab myself), but @nzbrock hit the nail on the head - my charcoal canister is there, so I am hoping someone fabs a bracket that sits over the fuse box or something...

    Thanks. If only I didn't have my ABS ECU there (actually, if I didn't have ABS there, that's where I'd mount my ARB compressor!). So little room in my engine compartment.

    I mounted a blue sea fuse block just behind the charcoal canister. Unfortunately I then had to move it due to my redline hood struts.
    The RTMR actually has a smaller footprint, although it looks taller with the case.

    Here is how I had it mounted. I now have it vertical on the firewall, it just makes it harder to screw the terminals down.
