Hopefully soon. I don't have any sheet metal on the front of my truck yet so I don't know exactly where I will be mounting it. I've seen Miata's tuck it behind the headlights, Mustangs install it in the trunk and engine compartment, the Studebaker page shows it in front driver's side wheel well. I'd think you'd want it close to the pump and battery so you don't have a mile of hose or cable. I'm hoping I can mount it up near the steering box... worst case scenario is I mount it on the frame behind the cab... there's all kinds of space there.

I got mine from Pull-A-Part for $35 for the pump and bracket (you want to grab that because it already has the rubber isolators and is basically a cradle for the pump.
