RV6 Strut Tower Bar

Can anyone with a RV6 strut tower bar give me pointers as to what they did to keep the fuse box in the engine bay from bouncing around and knocking up against the hood? I was thinking to zip tie it to the strut bar but don't want it to look ricey. Since it was bolted down to the stock strut bar now it hangs loosely by one bolt. There is also a bracket that was bolted to the strut that held some wires wrapped in wire loom.



Bracket that holds wires wrapped in wire loom.





Loose fuse box.

I'd like to know too. I will be installing mine this year and have heard you just leave the one bolt in there. Seemed kinda sketchy being plastic and all.

I've been hesitant to buy one for the same exact reason. I guess you just let it hang.


Is it just me or do those welds on the plate that bolts to the strut tower look like crap?

I left it dangling. There's not much you can do because the stock tower has the mounting points.

you just leave them dangling, they will be fine. i've had mine for about 5 years and no issues at all. at first i zip tied it all to the bar and at one time even glued a tab under the strut bar, but i've removed my strut bar so often it was pointless. the items will be fine hanging as is!
