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.

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).

Silver cable is from the firewall post, red cable from the alternator, small red wire with blue connector from the starter relay. The relay wire has been cable tied to the firewall cable to stop it flogging around as shwon in the next photo

Blue ring shows the connector area gunked up. Under this gunk there is a small self-tapper where the red dot is placed, which locks the Lucar connectors together, thus avoiding the push-on connector shaking loose.

The red arrow shows where the female Lucar terminal fitted to the relay trigger wire gets pushed onto the motor's male. The BLUE arrow shows where I fitted a tiny self tapper through a 2mm hole I drilled through the male and female connectors, to ensure it could not come free accidentally
