when i fit arb and such to the rear of golfs, i tend to put the brackets approx 3inch outover from that pic
the arb twists to take the roll out of the body, and having the brackets in the centre too far will just cause problems, eg. torsion of tha arb couldsnap them

I measured mine, then divided by 3. Then measured that number from the outside in on both sides.

Received my rear arb 22mm today I am going to fit tomorrow I notice there are 6 yellow bushes the round ones I thought 4 would do the job are they spares or do you have to double them up any close up pics of the mounting position would be helpful , also have a power box to fit so should keep me busy , any tips on fitting the p/box would be good to . thanks.

Just make sure you put everything you take off in a safe place.

Its more common sense, just take your time and you should be ok. You might have to get a new trottle body gasket from vauxhall, cost 68p
