Bloody stupid question I'm sure, but I'm stuck on this one. My '93 spi had a somewhat functioning heater flow valve connected to the control cable & lever, and attached to the hoses in the engine bay. The plate that the valve is on is floating free however - it's not attached to anything. Despite looking at the Haynes, etc. I can't seem to figure out where the plate should be attached to...is there a screw or bracket of some sort that should be there?

Thanks.

it just floats there, doesn't attach anywhere

So all this time I've been looking for an imaginary hook or bolt?

I gotta start drinking...

Thanks!

I have seen SPI ones secured down with zip ties just to keep them out of harms way or to make allow a slightly easier opening/ closing of the valve but that's about it - MPIs went back to being bolted in (albeit immediately above the heater matrix).
