The op may be looking at doing something different and lighter to mount their electronics (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/27670) It would be possible to use cables under tension to mount your electronics to and use your frame (which should be pretty rigid in most cases) to ensure tension. Not only that but there is no fear of shorting out if you use a plastic coated cable.

Just saying, there are alternate ways of mounting electronics that many teams haven't looked into, all of these have the benefits and their drawbacks which must be considered.
