The tongue shaped piece, note hump UPWARDS, at the bottom. Then the special washer (mine being a beautifully made stainless piece run up by Louis the Lathe King). This is indented to allow the tubular spacer, next item up, to sit in an indent. On top is another special washer which is rounded on its edge. This MUST be in top of the tubular spacer (the Jaguar diagram showing it below is WRONG).

Although adjustment "wings" are provided on the TPS, you still have to get the fixing points in the correct region before drilling and tapping the fixing holes.

picasso's recently discovered diagram of dimension (accurate for using a Variohm TPS. Note that actually the OEM spindle diameter is just under 8mm at 7.85mm and 8mm will not fit! A fact I found out this morning involving a pleasant 30 minutes with 400 grit and the spindle in a drill!

Spindle lower end perfect length for the Variohm Halll effect TPS. NOTE: the bottom of the capstand is not flat, there is a protrusion round the centre. Ben Kenobi kindly ran up a spacer (in brown) on his 3D printer to level out the surface

The wingnut has been fiwed in place with Loctite 270, this requires 400°C to loosen, so the wingnut will work both to hold the spindle to loosen and tighten the locknut, as well as , locknut loosened, to adjust the spindle and thus the TPS position.

The front of the car is on the right in this photo. The photo shows the hose fixing to the rack tower (the hose connectors face reawards on RHS cars). The hose fllexible is bent through 180° and goes under the rack towards the front. I have protected it with a silicone hose where it goes under the rack.

Here is the front side of the rack showing the hose going towards the front. It runs along the top of the crossmember, through the gap under the engine mount, so keeping it away from the exhaust.

Here is the hose appearing at the front of the crossmember. The hard line is secured to the oil cooler pipe and the anti-roll bar
