just a quick question, which way up do they go? i assumed fuel rail was ontop but i've just been looking at the mounting rubbers and they say "up" on the other side. if it doesn't matter, which way have others mounted them. thanks

My blade TB's are upside down, causes no issues that I have seen.

Put them on this way to reduce height in the engine bay.

Regards Mark

The 'correct way' is with the rail underneath, not sure if it makes any difference..

Pics on my build thread.... Linky

Doh! just come back on to check this and as there were no replies last night, i found a pic using google, and the fuel rail was on top. Just about got my manifold made now. Oh well thanks for the comments anyway, might be room to turn them round if im lucky

Doesnt make any difference with throttle bodies. Can be mounted in any orientation
