As title really, do they have to be upright, or can they be mounted on their side?
I want to mount mine like this;

and was wondering if it would work correctly?
(I want to keep it as I had custom braided lines made up to keep the accumulator and don't want to buy new lines. Plus I think the accumulator looks quite trick in the fuel line.)

That's what I thought, Rob. It's just a chamber with baffles and a diaphragm to hold pressure when the fuel pressures off. I just didn't want turning it on it's side to mess the spring system up.

Just a thought, aren't they mounted horizontally on the underside of RS1600i and Series Ones just by the tank? Should be fine then.
