    I just finished installing my new P3 brake controller. It fits perfectly in the little space for the wallet door with the mount that comes with it.

    It takes a while to cut out the space for the controller, and just screws onto the top of the drawer.

    "It takes a while to cut out the space"
    and
    "It fits perfectly"


    You could have just mounted the controller on top of the panel without taking a hacksaw to it.

    That's almost exactly where I have mine. Only problem is your left shin. If you're tall (like I am) you're almost certain to gouge your shin. Just have to be careful when you jump into the truck.
