How have people mounted their loom to the bulkhead?

Also what have people used as a box for the ecu (i'm using an e34 loom so the ECU sits on the battery tray)

I feel famous :o:

4 cylinder wiring cover with e30 m3 cover (just to the left of the 4 cylinder cover) which covers the relays, and an e34 ecu cover(bit infront of the m3 cover). Both the m3 panel, 4 cylinder wiring cover and the e34 ecu cover require some "trimming"

So if you're using an E36 loom / ECU would it be best to locate it inside the car behind the dash / glove box ??
:? :?

An e36 loom is longer than an e34 loom so you can actually still put the ecu behind the dash like a standard e30. Im using an e34 engine with a shorter loom so withought cutting and lengthening the loom i have to have the ecu in the engine bay. If you can keep it inside the car you may as well yeah - reduces the chance of it getting wet.
