Default Retrofitters!!!! HELP ME OUT PLEASE!

i've all the parts for my retrofit, but i'm still trying to figure out how you mount the projector. i'm using an fx35/45 projector with upgraded lens. most people using the JnC method mount the projector to the floor of the headlight with L brackets and some kind of riser. unfortunately, as you know we have no floor directly underneath the center of our bulb where the projector would go.

if anyone could post up pictures or anything of how they mounted their projector, i would VERY VERY much appreciate it.

I used sheet metal to make my mount. I used this as a guide. Hope it helps.
