reg rec and ecu placement ??
Hello Joe ere 
Although ive built 2 becs already, i was wondering is it just the heat problem we dont fit the ecu, rectifier etc under the bonnet and fit them all
under the scuttle instead.
Or is it to keep the under bonnet area nice and tidy
Thought please as im about to make the choice of under scuttle (love this word lol) or under bonnet.
Thank's, Joe

Reg/rec's are notorious for failing in BECs and generally reckoned good to keep somewhere cool with some airflow if possible.
Not very Locost but very BEC

Even on their original two wheeled home they're normally bolted to a nice big piece of metal with a bit of airflow to help cooling.

Old reg/rec were a problem.
More modern ones don't really get hot at all owing to the use of different transistors. They only put fins on them so people can recognise what
the component is!
mosfet is what you want
