I placed mine (lancair 360) against the pilot's side main spar and used one post as the positive junction for panel power. I figure this minimizes large cable length required. I was also trying to bring as many components as possible to the protected side of the firewall to minimize heat cycling and prolong life. I also placed a negative junction nearby for the panel and engine grounding. The downside to locating this stuff inside is that it is crowded inside the cockpit. Regards, Ed de Chazal
