BT50 3.0 Diesel wiring plugs etc
 
Looking for help (AGAIN!)
Well, the old man (82) trying to fix the 2008 BT50 diesel is making some progress and ready to refit cylinder head with manifolds with one hold-up).
As much as I did my best to record things during disassembly this has me stumped for now.
If I do not get brackets etc mounted correctly it may well introduce an issue requiring disassembly to correct so I need to get this right.
There are 2 small brackets with brown and green plug connectors. The smallest of the two is no issue as it clearly mounts to top of inlet manifold.
However the slightly larger one has 2 round holes for bolts and a slotted securing point.
Clearly this must go somewhere under the inlet manifold as the hoses and wiring would hardly reach anywhere else and were never removed.
But, I cannot find attachment points that match up to the bracket.
Probably difficult for another owner to identify the location but if you can assist then great.
Oh, how I hate to ask as my pride is taking a beating!https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.maz...4d29193523.jpg

Can you post a few pictures of the engine bay......or maybe some wider angles of the pics you've already posted? So we can see more of those areas. Here in the States, we didn't get the BT-50, unfortunately.

Whilst I do not see why you want more photos when you never had such cars (same as a Ford Ranger of the day) and of course unable to advise me further I attach a photo of the engine bay with "as-is" being minus cylinder head and manifolds.

It appears that you have that bracket upside down, and it looks like it will mount to the side of the intake manifold.....not under it as you have it.

Dry fit your cylinder head and intake manifold to your engine block, and turn the bracket 180 degrees, and see if you can locate the mounting points that way.

Here is a pic of a 2008 BT50 engine bay.......

Actually.......it looks like the bracket only needs to rotate 90 degrees......not 180. The metal bracket should be horizontal, when turned 90 degrees, and the electrical plug-in connectors would be straight up and down.

I wish that my engine bay looked like that blue one.
I am slowly getting things sorted and appreciate the assistance
