EB9 mounting
Can anybody post a pic of a 62 EB9 transmitter in the correct mounting position and tell me what kind of mounting screws are used? If I'm going to mount it under hood, it might as well be correct. I used my air powered needle scaler yesterday to remove all the loose rust and paint and undercoating in the engine bay. That tool is outstanding. I can't beleive how much time and effort it saved me. Got most of it painted and will just be cleaning up the wiring from the old SBC in preperation for the W.

i have seen these things mounted all over the place and with differant screws. here are the measurements on the originals i have. from the firewall to the first hole is 12 3/4" and from the a-frame dustsheild opening up is 5" on the back hole and 4 3/4" on the front hole. they are mounted with 1/4-20 steel hex head screws. they are both St.Louis built cars.

916,
I have no knowledge of the '62's but I would think they were probably the same as the '61's. My 61SS has the factory tach and the sending unit is mounted in it's original location using the original screws. Perhaps this will help.

If there' "bolts', do they have a nut under them? Original fender wells I've seen were pulled from sheet metal screws.

Hey, you're right, they are sheet metal screws. i guess i have been looking at the ones i have on the shelf too long. some of them have 1/4-20 bolts in them and i now can see the bolt and nut is not correct.

Chev601234,
They are not bolts, they are hex head course thread screws. The threads look kinda like a lag screw. In other words, there's no nut on the other side.

Models916,
I'm not sure how we got from oil filler tubes to tachs but while we're on the subject of how the tachs were mounted, I have a question for you. What type screw do you plan to use to mount the tach to the steering column? I've seen this debated on other forums but not here.

Hmmmmmm?
Haven't thought that far yet. My AutoMeter is mounted with a large hose clamp on the right. Better post me a pic of the way the Sun was mounted. My 62 is no where near being correct about how the factory did it, but still nice to be accurate when possible.
