Default An observation about VSC

So I'm in the process of relocating the VSC Yaw Rate sensor, located under the driver's seat, for the purpose of placing a Group 31 battery in the floor depression there. Just to see what the VSC sensor would do if taken out of it's normal environment, I unbolted it and put it on it's side. During turns the ABS would kick in, observed by a rapid pulsating feeling.

The mounting holes for the Yaw Rate sensor and it's bracket are the same distance apart, but the holes for the bracket's bolts are bigger. Tomorrow I'm going to try and bore out the holes a little so I can secure the sensor to the frame. Then I'll try to do a Zero Point Calibration so the VSC system will recognize the sensor's new orientation. The sensor should be more or less level with its previous location and only a few inches forward, so I don't think it will present a problem.

OK, I'm having a hard time visualizing where your moving it to. Is it the raised frame section the seat mounts too? Pics please, I need to open up this same area for my mid-bass enclosures.

I'll try and snap pics when time permits. I'm trying to get my car ready for a SPL comp before I go on vacation. Its one day after I come back, so I gotta have everything set!
My 320A alt just came in, I'll start a separate thread in the ICE section.
