Hi all,
On OKA-166 I’m hooking up my selector valve for my two fuel tank setup but I’m at a loss where the mounting selector valve mounting bracket goes, I see under the OKA on the passenger side main chassis rail. I see a wiring loom with a couple of dustproof connector plugs on it, I’ve looked for mounting holes to fit the bracket but I can’t see any. The bracket I’m trying to fit is the original OKA part. does the bracket go on the chassis rail or up between the front wheel arch and the battery box.
Could someone point me in the right direction?
regards,
Chris

Chris, the valve appears to be fixed to a bracket off the chassis, sort of between the tank and the battery box but on the inside of the chassis rail. But it's dark and bloody cold right now, I'll check again tomorrow.
These pics of mine might help, also the bracket is item 4 on the layout below.

Thanks Dandj,
After looking at your post I found the mounting holes they had seal plugs fitted into the screw inserts and a bit of mud hiding both inserts. Bracket and selector valve now mounted. Just need to connect up the wiring.
Regards, Chris.
