[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 94704, member: 60"] Thanks Simon, but hopefully that does not apply as the advantages of mounting the coil (or coils) in the front sidecar hole ( I thread the securing screw through a rubber bung) are: I can see the connections, they are not cramped under the cover, they are out of the way of water and the cut out lead never gets near the short HT wire as that goes off to the right and the cutout wire goes off to the left. Disadvantage is people can see it under the tank so it doesnt look standard (I should worry:p) and the wires are more prominent. I never mind a few tidy wires showing I am always reminded of the MD secretary of a firm where I worked, she gave my stick until every vestige of wire was not visible, her desk was always pristine and it would take an age to check or change the connections, but her computer directory structure (folders to new guys) was an absolute mess she could never find a file when she wanted it, [/QUOTE]
