Installing KATs circulating coolant heater
Gents,
I will be installing my KATs today. I was looking at where I can mount the darn thing, and it seems I can only mount it on the diagonal rail that is between the bumper and wheel well (in order to have it at the correct height).
Now, can I just use a bunch of mechanics wire to get it in place? Because I can't mount the mounting bracket to that piece of metal.
Any tips?

I Googled this topic, and came up with mostly people having the same problem as far as how and where to mount it(because of it's size). Of course , none of them posted a pic of what they did. Also, most replies they got from people where to use the magnetic one for the oil pan or a dipstick heater. Because it's the oil you want warm for starting issue's. There was even a couple from DF in 2008. But anyway, I'd use some heavy duty tie wraps and put rubber or some kind of padding between the heater and whatever you mount it to.

That was the difference in opinions from what I read. If cold start was the issue, that's one thing. But if you want it warmer quicker, that was the other. However, I saw a lot of guys complaining about the cost of electric for that convenience.
