Default Truck coil relocation?

So...I have truck coils on my Z28 and want to relocate them but all the kits I see are made for the stock F-body ones. I am a handy kind of guy and can make my own (if they were stock) but am not sure how to bracket them up and move them.

Also, I want to put them somewhere more out of the way than under the wiper cowl. Any ideas?

i've seen people make a bracket for them behind their hotchkis strut bar, the coils sit under where you are talking about and you can't even see them.

Yep! Im the first and only guy that i know of to do this too I tryed talking 6 litter into makeing these for guys, as alot of guys PMed me to make these for them LOL
I actually got the idea as i was getting ready to install my coils under my cowl with that cowl kit? ,but they wouldn't fit because of my (rear) drivers side rear breather was in the way of the kit. Im glade in a way,,, because this is bad *** IMO and only takes 2 bolts to remove the whole brace with the coils if ever needing to pull the intake or valve covers for any reason
