Damo, it mounts either side of the strut tops, has an open end, so just uses a slightly longer bolt thru the strut top.

As for the boot floor, the tank houses my extra fuel pumps and swirl pot

Sorry mate, didnt mean just one side of the car, but it sits only one side of the suspension tops.

ie. towards the front or the rear of the car.
