i dont think they change the height at all, its just the ABF mount is a beefier design.  Looks like it probably does go into F/9 then, check for continuity between that wire and pin 22 on the ecu plug :)
how are you planning to run your rev counter by the way, the ABF ecu signal wont work with the MK2 clocks.  You can open the ABF coil and splice a wire to one of the terminals, or chop it out and run a MK2 coil instead.

Gone down the easier path of using the mk3 clocks and coil. Can't face any more work!!. maybe further down the line ill run the mk2 ones. Have just dropped the subframe and the rear mount bolt has popped out the top so its now in 2 halves, the thread has stripped. don't know how long it has been like this for.

Danny you have pm

cool, defo want to check that wire out then!  I'm pretty sure its F/9 for the rev counter now, but you really need to check where the other end is before we can be sure :)

it'll be behind one o the dash blanks, or perhaps behind a panel next to the ashtray once you open it easy to find though follow the yellow, red/white & grey/white wires, or follow the immobilisor box wires if it has one.

find the green wire  and tape it up to something so you can find it at a later date  but it's not required,
