Transponder Mounting - ITS RX7

[benspeed]

Folks - where is the best place to mount the transponder on a 1986 Mazda RX7?

Thanks,

I mounted mine in the left wheel well on the inboard side, to the frame rail. It gives it a clear shot to the ground.

mine is on the outboard side of the driver's side front wheel well...toward the rear of the well.

They are very rugged, so don't worry about the tires kicking up stuff and pelting the transponder. It must be no more than 2 feet off the ground and have a clear, unobstructed view of the ground.

They say that they can work through plastic, but the signal is weak when you do this and timing and scoring will send the chief steward to talk with you.

My wife was a major player in bringing transponders to the Southwest Division.

Thanks Guys-I had it up in the front and after adding a new spoiler I needed a new spot. I'll go outboard as mine is a charging type. Good to hear they are tough enough to deal with a little "pelting".

Cheers,

We mounted ours in the rear of the passenger side wheel well, and for extra protection mounted a plastic electrical conduit box over it (we cut the bottom out to get a clear view of the track).
