Goes in the scuttle drivers side (as you look in the bay) holds the TCi/ ECU  :smiley:

You don't own a Mk2, you support it.

I remember taking it out as I snapped the nut holding it
Just can't figure out which way it fits back in

My apologies, that is spot on. I used it to mount the mk3 ecu in mine. Hence confusion :whistle:

How did you mount mk3 one in? My ecu is just laid there at an angle with no bracket
because none of it fit in

 I attached TCi unit to the ECU and iirc I used speed fixing dipped in sealant and the mk3 ecu mounted in the normal way.

But the abf ecu much bigger than standard pb one. I threw away the bracket because there was no way it going to fit. Mine just there at at angle but not secured.
