Obviously, as far forward as possible is good, but not where it can get broken :) . It also has to be able to 'see' the road surface (with no metal in the way).

On my old car I strapped (tie-wrapped) it to the side of the furthest forward chassis upright.

On my new car (which someone else built) they made up a plate and welded it to the middle of the bottom front chassis rail (so thats about 1/2 inch further forward).

It probably makes very little difference really, though the closest finish I've been involved in (0.003 seconds) worked out to only 8 inches in distance.

Don't think there is a specific location. Mine is mounted engine bay side on the front bulkhead of the passenger footwell. I have seen them on many Caterhams secured to a steering rack support :t-up:

HTH

PS; scrute would need to see the AMB sticker on the bodywork to notify him where the thing is ;)

definately as far forward as is reasonable/safe... for me back end of nose cone area - front of inboard suspension mounts...

you go for the wired in or recharable one ? if wired in you can get away with striiping things back a bit and getting into a good location as you obviously don't have to fart about taking in on/off all the time..

Mines mounted on the upright bar that holds the rear wishbone mounts for the front suspension - if that makes any sense.  I wanted to make sure I could see the little light on it, which I couldn't do if it was on the front frame of the car.
