    It looks pretty straight forward...

    Exploded view:

    Only the rear driveshaft in the rear area...looks like solid metal above it:

    Guessing I could make a "lip" on the top rear portion of the frame...

    And hardwire in a DZ143 after I isolate the leads (looks like engine is already encased in plastic)

    Thoughts?

    Here is a "how to" on The Kato E-8 decoder installation.

    I placed my Lenz 521W decoder in the fuel tank area of the E-8.

    That's what the "how to " explains in detail.

    You got a pic (even if it's an "after" shot) ?

    Mike:

    Unfortunately I don't have any photo's of the installation.

    The "How-to" is very straight forward as there is space in the fuel Tank area of the E-8 for a decoder.
