WB,
Yes run over the top of engine roughly in the middle then you will need to fabricate some sort of stay bracket to fasten the threaded bit of the cable outer to. The inner then connects from above. I used to use the long rover MGTF which went arround the front of the engine because it looked neater. Why not take a run over, I have a new cable in stock and you can see how I have done mine + catch up. New address The Coach House, Sandy Lane, Abbots leigh , Bristol BS8 3SE tel 01275 371255
