Having a T break while stripping for stat & cambelt change. Am I correct that the scuttle needs to come off for access to the bolts holding the solenoid switch over valve to the rear N/S of the plenum, or is there enough play in the vac pipes and wiring for access when the plenum is loose? TIA

I've never removed the scuttle to remove the plenum .... its a tad tight but easily doable with the scuttle in place.

HTH

Thanks mate.

Don't need to remove scuttle to remove plenum mate.  Enough play in wiring & vac pipes to pull plenum an inch or so forwards to unplug electrics and vac pipe.

Remember to refit 'em before finally refitting plenum though

Thanks all, but I found it easier to take it off anyway. The wretched electrical pugs are the most difficult things to remove on these cars, every one has a different form of attachment, and the one on my plenum was stuck fast, and to avoid breaking it I removed the scuttle.

Aye, for the sake of ten minutes fiddling, the improved access is always welcome
