The vac pipe pushes onto a spout right in the middle at the top of the HBV. Should be obvious as the spout sticks up about 10 mil, unless it's snapped off?

I had assumed he meant the other end?

The other end goes into firewall. I have the left hand steering car so in my case it's on the passenger side of the car. If you look up from passenger footewell, you'll see vacuumpipe going into firewall. The two pipes meet in the rubber connector inside firewall. It's kinda cone shaped so it will not be too hard finding it from engine room side. You have to have small arms though to reach down there :D Flashlight will help you. Just reach down there and push the damn thing in. That's it. I know my explanation is very vague, but I'm half-sleeping and english isn't my native language. Good luck with it.

  Hi Mark,
            Would you be able to put a drawing of where the pipes from the breather system connect up to, similar to the one you've done for the vacuum system?

       Thanks,
                 Pete.
