I do like the look of the firewall connections compared to the round hole filler contraption they offer - will they adapt to that style or is it up to the owner ? Does the VA unit you used bolt up using the original 2 mounting holes or ??

I was going to mention this but using a bulkhead like mine increases your cost a couple hundred dollars in just fittings alone (not including the cost of the bulkhead). Each fitting that screws into the bulk head is between $10-20 ea. depending on the size and angle. Then x 2 (one for each side of the firewall). Since my firewall was not stock, I mounted mine differently. I tucked mine up high as I didn't want it to be seen hanging down low under the dash. You can pretty much mount in a way that works best for your application.

It is really up to the owner to configure as the relationship of the bulkhead compared to where the unit is mounted makes it somewhat custom. You need to figure out how your hoses will run before getting the ends crimped on.

Here are a couple more pics that my friend Wayne sent me when I was fabricating my set up. This was in a 48 Suburban.
