No pic that I can find but the long one goes from a t bar type fitting on one end to a 90 Deg Turn with a 6mm bolt in to a threaded boss by the rear wheel well. The long strap is 70 QUID! Ask Me How I know  I have one in the garage which I'll fit when the weather gets better. I currently have a lash up holding mine on which has been there for around 3 years! The lash up is 6 inches of each end of the Pork bracket & the rest is ali strip from B & Q. If you want a pic then I'll do it when it isn't like bl00dy Siberia outside  Edited to say just found the pics:- |

Hi Guys Many thanks for all Help. . .  Now gathering more infomation it seems like I may have purchased the wrong STRAPS der. .  they look brilliant no rust and even has the anti-vibration strip attached. I believe they are for the earlier model. Not too sure as yet-not got underneath her so to speak.Regards MOT yep. . . your correct it was a fail hence my sleepless night and my worn out credit card.

All the best Brett Quite agree but at first glance & I suspect to the MOT tester it looks like the straps just hold the pump cover on. Mine had rusted through leavng the pump & cover dragging on the deck! |

I seem to recall it being pretty difficult to figure out where they start & finish - do you have to drop the transaxle to replace them then? Steve |

Steve Nope, but the right angled end is near the wheel rim on the flat boot floor & I think in the end I popped the wheel off to get better access & a bit of light. |
