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.
