Can't wait to see the full GT front end on your black box Hubert

RE ballasts; the correct/intelligent way to mount them is as per Particleware's suggestion. I personally didn't bother and simply squeezed them "inside" the back of the headlight enclosure. The manufacturer swear by them and assured me that they are rated over 120 degree Celsius (built for the task!). After tests I've never really managed to get them to much higher than 60degree (C) (enclosed) so... up they went inside my headlight here!
