I have the same system. I mounted the driver against the ceiling just
behind the D-panel. There are several reasons for this: 1) In case of a
fuel leak the fuel won't run into the strobe driver, 2) this allows for
a symmetrical installation minimizing electrical noise: I have one
straight cable from the unit to the tail strobe, and I have two cables
running down on each side to the wing root.

I have a mill spec connector for each wing, the connector facilitates
the strobes, nav lights, aileron trim, pitot heat, remote camera and
some spare wires. I got these connectors at ebay.
