3.2 Air Box breather hose bracket
I am in the final stages of buttoning up the replacement of all of my fuel hoses with Len Cummings set... Also added new injectors. Have the air box in place and am down to trying to align the bracket that attaches to the oil breather hoses, but it is flat out kicking my butt.
Any ideas or advice. My back and hamstrings are about giving out.

Disregard - <----idiot misaligned with the bracket on wrong side of lip, goes on the face vice the backside. Just needed to sit and look at it for a bit and the lightbulb came on.
On the positive side, new fuel hoses from Len installed along with Lucas fuel injectors today - and after a couple of weeks waiting for parts and prepping, once I got the hoses R&R took about 2.5 hours, another 2 hours tidying up the engine bay, and then about 1.5 installing the fuel rails and new injectors - all 1st time for me. Whole body hurts - BUT, about 15 seconds cranking and she fired right up, settled into a nice idle pretty quickly, and out importantly - after a 15 minute drive, did not notice any leaks. I wiped down some of the engine with Gunk wipes which had a bad odor once the engine heated up, but no FUEL smell. Very happy right now, and look forward to getting some miles - on to the next item on the checklist.
