I'm sure i've seen it on here somewhere but i'm going square eyed trying to find it!
Trying to find out what everyone is using to house the ECU and wiring on their M50 conversion, part no.s or models would be a great help, failing that i'll have to look for another sandwhich box!

i undid the loom and got that squeezed into the E30 wiring tray (the bit above the engine) and got the Ecu to sit in the original place next to the steering column. Just double sided sticky taped and cable tied the ecu to place

Depends what car your engine came from Steve. E34 or E36. One of them has a slightly longer loom which allows the ECU to live in the normal place. Can't remember which loom is longer.

I got both of my looms from Dan as I need plug & play and both times he sorted me with something long enough to fit the ECU in the proper place.

Yours is an E34 loom Steve, E36 loom will let the ECU sit in the right place with some modding
