where should i put my servo.

BE NICE.

One of the first things i had done on MEA was to have servo fitted and it is fast becoming one of the worst decisions i have made. The garage i used (dont get me started) put the servo unit on the inner wing on the driver side, high up at the front of the vehicle above the horn. Its in the way of EVERYTHING, cant get at the horn,cant get at the radiator bolts not to mention the fact that the heater hose, from the radiator area has had to be re routed.
So, great all knowledgable mmoc website members. Where did you find the best place to locate the servo unit and have you got any tricks up your sleeve that you found usefull

move it so its sticking out of the bonnet and tell people its a supercharger.... actually theres a thought!
Could the MC be fitted inside the bonnet and the relevent pipes with flexis and stuff so nothing gets stressed,

How does the MC need to be angled? is it irrelevent?

My servo is on the engine bay floor,drivers side, as far into the corner as is possible and I have no problems.

is that back against the bulkhead?

Yes, it is as far back and as far to the off side as is possible and I found that it needed an additional steady bar to the one supplied to make it a
secure fitting. You could experiment by moving it forwards to check the
ease of starter unit removal.

Just get rid of it - small car like a Minor doesn't need a servo anyway!

That is a very real possibility.
