"Couple of questions as its about time to start putting stuff in its final place "

1. breather catch tank for the oil what hieght in relation to the rocker cover ? does it need to be highter
"Mine is around the top of the rocker cover, and the feed pipe is horizontal with the can, and cover"

2. header tank for water anywere on rear shelf ok or need to be specific
"not applicable in my case"

3. is it a good idea to put ecu,s under the dash or protected from the elimants in the engine bay ive seen all whitch is bests
"again not applicable on a xflow, but i would mount it inside if i did have one"

4. the tape that goes round the nosecone were it touches the bonnet any type to use in particular ??? neoprene ??
thanks

Mount catch tank on shelf at raer of engine next to it mount your expansion tank for water.

ECU under dash as they do not like heat mine is in top of passenger footwell and easy accessible.

You can get 20 x3 mm foam tape off ebay.

On my Pinto engine MK Indy I mounted the oil catch tank on the front of the scuttle under the bonnet. It was probably level with the cam cover, but it was above the block vent. In 3 years I never had a drop of oil in it so question if I needed it.

thanks Lads will crack on when it stopps snowing
could i trouble you for a couple more

st170 water pump pumps Right way or change it ????

st170 no need for petrol return normaly but as ive put on bike carbs should i add a return ??

is there a specific alternator belt to use or just any that fit
