Hi folks,
Looking for ideas on mounting my Dorian.
I have seen some cool options, including David Stone's nice and tidy passenger side in-floor mounting.
What is everyone else doing? Now I have my own Dorian, I would like something more permanent than my dodgy cable ties through the rear tow hook solution.
Will a Dorian transmit through plywood or plastic? That might allow me to mount it over my undertray or something.
Anyways, would like to hear some ideas . I do have a couple of those cradles so all I really need is a suitable surface.

Re: Dorian Mounting
It goes through plastic and wood, I have just mounted mine on the inside of the front under tray after it got ripped off when it was mounted under the car, lucky I got it back.

Re: Dorian Mounting
I attached the cradle to the circled ridged. Works pretty well, I can easily take it on and off.
Cheers,

Mine is on the drivers side with the stock plastic bracket. Very easy to access.

Pics would be brilliant please!?
Have had a bracket here for ages but haven't mounted it. It would be nice to get it under the car, in a place that is easy to access, but can't be knocked off on a curb or similar...

Re: Dorian Mounting
Nothing really beats the passenger floor cut-out if racecar. The ones I've seen just have a plastic box suspended through the floor and riveted and silicon sealed from the road - sorry, no pics.

^^^ That is also the CAMS mandated spot for racing as well if running in a CAMS category and want to play the eligibility game.

Re: Dorian Mounting
Which way is the cradle orientated?
Need pics of mounts with the cradle in position that don't involve cutting the floor please.
