Hope Gary doesnt mind me "borrowing" a pic of his engine but does anyone have the clips arrowed?

You have pm

Careful not to position the oil pipe like this. It all looks neat and I wanted to hold it off the top of the gearbox, but I had to remove the clips once I tried to get the engine in as it trapped it neatly against the body

Thanks chaps

Any ideas where the pipe should be placed? as I also thought it might foul the bodywork being routed across the bellhousing, Gary is yours not attached now?

Underneath, rather than over the top.

Hi James/Gary

I am no expert BUT I know a man who is....these 2 photos show where the 2 clips go sorry about the poor quality its the only one I have.

This clip is mounted on the diff cover nuts.

Kind regards

Mine is now lower down like the pictures above. Still clipped in place though.

They just look very similar to slides from that angle:

What setup is it?

I will have to remember that position when I redo my oil lines
