V1 Escapepilot’s 06 SS/SC Ext Track Build - COMPLETED

[escapepilot]

Now to get that BCM and kick plate mounted. I feel like I have more screws, bolts, and spacers than I need.

I was greatly over-thinking it. So for anyone else that needs BCM kickplate mounting help, there are THREE mounting tabs in the BCM and it’s bolt, washer, BCM, small spacer, long spacer, aluminum wall, washer nut. The top of the BCM gets the longer bolt with and the extra small spacer.

Photos of how you installed your BCM and cover?

Also, I like that brown seat against the dark blue frame. It really pops against it.

Haven’t completely mounted yet as I’m going to put some grip tape on the kickplate.

The two that secure only the bcm look like this…

I replaced this little spacer with a lock nut, so if I have to remove the foot plate, it can be done all from the outside and not have to remove the hood to get on the back side of that bolt.

 

[escapepilot]

RT, did you thread the bolt in from the back then? Seems like a really good idea and would make fuse access easier.

 

[escapepilot]

Based on Rttoys suggestion, I changed the top kickplate mount to make servicing the fuses easier.
I used a standard nut instead of a locknut in the middle because it was thinner and the kickplate fit better.

 

[Ross]

I skipped the bolt going thru the kick plate, and used a rivnut on the firewall.
Passengers only press on the plate, and I don't want to carry an allan key to access the fuses.
Now I still have the 3 phillips head screws at the bottom, but I do carry a phillips screwdriver.

Ya. I should have circled the other spacer, I was looking at it wrong, but you figured it out.

Those look awesome!

 

[escapepilot]

Replaced my running but not pumping intercooler pump with a ZZP upgrade. Then investigated to find out why the old one wasn't working.

I think I figured it out...

 

[Robinjo]

I just ordered a new pump as well, but my old one doesn't look like that!

 

[Rttoys]

That might be it

 

[escapepilot]

If you still have the interior panel that has the BCM fuse diagram, behind the kickplate is a good spot for it. Mine peeled off with a little effort and was sticky enough to put on the kickplate.

 

[Robinjo]

That’s brilliant, I wish I’d thought of that before throwing my panel out. I figured I could just Loogle the diagram….

You can always print out your own copy. Here is a color coded fusebox map.

 

[Robinjo]

Saved that link.

 

[Rttoys]

Yep. I did that with mine. Stuck the sticker to a magnet and stuck that to the back of the kick plate.

Update from the weekend...

Decided on a different style taillight so mounted Reverse Lights on the subframe.

and wired up the license plate light.

 

[escapepilot]

I like the taillights I picked out. Similar to the DF ones but without the white reverse ring.
