On the front downward side between the clutch/hydro openings has the 3-way brake pipe attached. Randy

One thing that I didn't mention is that the bracket layout is because my car still retains it's 'proper' RHD. LHD I guess would be different? Being an ex police car, many people bought them for racing/rallying as I guess they either wanted a car with a 'S' engine or they believed that police car engines had extra power. Simon Wheatcroft of the MCR and MKIII registrar was associated with at least one prior owner and knew it was raced in the '90s and maybe before. I don't know when it was painted red with a black roof. If you need a photo of my car's layout, I can send you one by email or in a text. Randy

Is the bracket/tab located under the top of the clutch hose that also carries the hydrolastic hose painted the body color of the car or is it black? This is a MK 3 wet car I'm asking about.
