That is not a lot of torque per screw to clamp them down: 0.072 kg per m only equals about 6 inch pounds.

On my car, the TEGs close to the undercarriage would probably not fit. If they did fit, I would think the fins would not cool the TEG as well because they might be wedged between the heat source and the underside of the car. If they won't cool as well they won't produce the hoped-for power, either, no?

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
