Default fenderwell mounted pcm cover

I'm want to mount my pcm on the passenger side fenderwell of my 66 Nova. Does anyone know of a cover/mount made that will work and look good? It looks like alot of the pcm's are mounted inside of the cars, but my harness is not long enough plus with the vintage air added it will not have room under the dash. My ls1 is from a 2001 z28

I am not aware of any covers, but I lengthened my harness and mounted the PCM inside the car. Snip.....solder...solder...snip....solder...solder ...snip...solder....solder....X60....Sheesh!

I got a stock mount from a S10 I think and mounted it in fenderwell. It is water proof. Isn't it?

It is water proof and the PCM is mounted in the engine compartment in most LSx vehicles. There is a cover on the 2001 Tahoe computer mount. I am not using it in my conversion (I like the bare computer, makes it look high tech ) . But I will put the cover on tomorrow and snap a pic and post it.

I don`t know, after a microbiology or pharmacotherapeutics exam sometimes I just want a mindnumbing task to help me forget about exams. Snip, strip, slide heat shrink tube on, twist, solder, shrink, repeat.
