I had bought a hot start engine heater from a buddy a year or so ago and am just now getting around to installing it. Well I am looking for ideas on how to mount it. The bracket they send you is absolute garbarge. So if any one on here has one please let me know how you mounted it. Thanks You can see a picture of the heater I here: http://hotstart.com/home/products/tank-style-engine-preheaters/small-tank-style-heaters-tps-models/

Because its a $150 tank heater that I paid $75 for. It also keeps the coolant at 140 degrees and is more energy efficient then the block heater.

Well after reading over the documents its going to be quite a challenge to install... http://hotstart.com/assets/PDF/TPS-installation-instruction-216061-064-REV-0.pdf Being all the coolant passages are on the exhaust side of the head. But as for the bracket I would just fab out custom bracket to frame of the truck. Drill and tap mounting holes into the frame and just bolt it to the frame.

I have everything figured except where and how to mount the bracket. I just figured I would look on here see if anyone has one and what they did to mount it.
