When moving the header tank to the opposite side by the water pump how do i secure it in place how is it held to the wing, also do people find it difficult when blleding the system.

Thanks Mat

I have run this setup for a few years with no probs the tank is not secured in place at all but once you have the pipework re-routed and cut to correct length it will keep it all in place. I will see if I can find some pics for you later I am currently on itouch

I'm sure there are threads on the site that go into all this in great detail.

As regards securing the header tank I agree with James5, if it's done right the pipework just keeps the tank in place. No need for brackets or tie-wraps etc.
