Electronics mount plate ideas

[Sci85]

Hey guys, I have an '82 GS550 that is currently getting an engine upgrade. While the engine is out, I decided to take care of some of the electronics. I ordered an SH775 series regulator to replace the stock one. However, as anyone who's seen one knows, it's quite a bit bigger than the factory unit.

I'm looking for mounting ideas. I don't think it will fit in the stock location. I'm also going with some K&N twin pod filters so I wouldn't mode getting ride of the factory air filter box. Has anyone crafted their own mounting plate for the starter solenoid, fuse box, etc and if so, could you post a link?

Thanks,

Here is what i did

My R/R Mounts underneath the battery box...I took the battery box out, and measured the width of the new holes on the R/R...Then I took it to a local weld shop and for 15 bucks the guy moved one of the posts so the new R/R would mount there...I don't know how yours is but it was a simple solution..

Just a temporary fix....




But something similar would be good if you finished it up nice.

You could upgrade to a Dyna S ignition & eliminate the igniter.
Then mount the regulator/rectifier where the igniter was.

Good ideas guys. I like the plate idea.

Not keen on spending the money for a dyna s when I already have electronic ignition that works, but might consider it at some point.
