What  would be considered best practice for installation of the large electrolytic  capacitor used to filter the output of a PM alternator:

  

 Mount  it on the hot side of the firewall and protect the occupants

  

 Mount  it on the cool side of the firewall and protect the  capacitor

  

 Would  appreciate any speculations, -john-

Evenin', John,

     

     Good timing for this question!  Just finished installing mine last     week!  And no speculation in my case...

     

     I put mine inside, behind the passenger's head (Long EZ...pusher     engine not as bad as it sounds....a headrest pad and a couple of     canopy braces protect the passenger from the electronics on the     inside of the firewall) mainly because the installation instructions     with the B&C alternator specifically said NOT to mount the cap     on the engine side of the firewall because of the heat there!  Guess     the passenger is less important than the alternator!
