Default Gen IV PCM Mounting bracket?

I used one of these these to mount my PCM on my LS1 in my '56.

I'm putting an LS3 in my '61, and am wondering of there is any such bracket for the Gen Iv PCM.

Not having any luck finding one on Google search.

Any thoughts?

I just use the 4 existing holes in the ecm to mount it.

I used rubber isolating mounting pads with double studs (one facing each direction) for mounting my e38.

It works great and is very flexible. I did ground the ECM chassis to a good grounding point, too.

All the replies make sense.

The reason I was inquiring about a mount similar to the older one is because of llthe location I plan to mount it. I wanted to use a devicelike that which I could adhere to a surface then mount the EVM. For that location I cannot run screws or bolts through. I may be forced to figure something else out.

Here is a bracket that holds both the ecm and the tcm. not sure what you are looking for but the they both clip in and out. Cut it up to fit?

Does the ECM require a good ground ?, I've still got mine laying on the floor in the back seat area, 6k miles so far.

Thanks for showing that. I have one on order now. Not sure how I'll end up implementing, but this may be a big help.
