Q: does an ic have an input and an out put? (i would think is dosent) so on to Q: would you have more room. if you inverted it? bottom to top, the way that it is fixed now? that does look big, but nice work, see you sunday if you are there. ---

In fact, I don’t know of any ICs that appear symmetrical on the outside, but aren’t on the inside, but there very well could be. A: Inverting it would aim the I/O directly at the bumper support shocks. In the second last picture, you can see the holes where they insert into. I will be there sunday, I think. ---
