PCM tray

PCM tray
I bought the PCM tray from Intense and had a few questions. 1. I could only use two of the holes to screw it down. They're both on the right side. Is this ok? The PCM doesn't seem to move as far as I can tell. Secondly, should the top of the PCM be covered? I get nervous haaving the top half of the PCM exposed. Thirdly, is engine heat a concern? The computer isn't that far away from the exhaust manifolds.. in the airbox it was protected from all engine heat. What have the rest of you done with your PCM'*? Just leave it looking like mine does now?
Is this the only way to mount it? I couldn't get the wires to cooperate with mounting it in any other configuration besidse this one. (this is on the Aurora BTW.. looks just like the Bonn eh?)

I should think it was in the air box for reasons of protection, and possibly air flow across the PCM for cooling. I could be wrong though.

Now that I ordered a Thrasher, I have just a simple shield around the airfilter, but the pcm is exposed, and havent had a problem.

I know this is a late reply but... I am also running with the pcm exposed and have been all summer. Hasn't hurt mine, I have a fabbed up mount for mine to go on, just havent got around to doing it yet. I have mine velcroed right now and it holds just fine.
so as long as you got two screws holding yours in you are golden.
