Default Coilpack - where's yours?

For those that are running on a coilpack, where have you fitted yours?

any pics please?

i was going to have a bracket fabricated onto the side of the double windscreen washer/water injection tank thats where the battery once was, but unsure now as the cage is about to be going thru the bulkhead there. so that tank may even become redundant.

so where have you guys fitted yours please, and what brackets etc used to fit them?

i had something similar to that before aswell, the heat shield was a one off and all attached to the strut brace.

its a possibility again but may not have a conventional strut brace anyway
