I mounted my panel on my front shell (2417).

I mounted just in front of the AC, and on the street side of the front vent. I ran the wires down the street side front lift arm. I used zip ties to hold the wires on the arm. I used a stick-on wire channel I got at Home Depot to hold the wires down the side of the front shell. I caulked the sides of the channel, so it won't blow off when the adhesive gets old and loses its strength (just like me!)

I then threaded the wires through holes in the undercarriage, then towards the center of the front frame. There are three holes there, so I put my solar wires through one of the holes. I ran my battery wires through another hole, just for support, before running all of them to my controller, which is mounted on the front of the lower box. It will be covered by the front shell while in transit.

Hope this helps. I haven't taken the photos off my phone, yet, so I can't quite show what I did.
