Yeah it's kind of my pile too. Getting the lpg sorted has been my aim recently...
I am also going to try and mount mine differently if i get the chance i'd like to avoid the m6 studding if possible but this will probably involve some aerospace adhesive and small brackets.

It's going to free up some nice space just above the exhaust manifold, which gives me sickening thoughts

This is also on my project thread but here it is kinda fitted:
To bolt them on I put a washer between the bolt and coil pack, coil pack and plate (to protect the coil pack and the plate) and a washer on the other side with a nylock to help secure it:
Plug 1 needs to be modified to allow it to fit in between the rocket cover:
Now the wiring was something I was really looking forward to
I marked the plugs according to their number (1,2,3,4) and set about connecting them up to see how they fitted. Was tight but not un-comfy to get them in there as standard, but wouldn’t really suit long term IMO.
So back came the cable wrap. Irritatingly coils 1 and 2 are furthest away but have the shortest wires.
I ran coil 1 over the top of coil 2, then taped them together:
Ran them both past coil 3, taped them together:
Then up and past coil 4 and did them all together:
I then decided I will use a P clip bolted to the sticky outy bit to hold it in place.
Trouble is I’m left with all this:
Not sure what to do, whether to cut it and them crimp it back together but I feel all shuddery doing it due to the job they carry out, what’s the thoughts?
Anoyingly I can't test it as the rest of the engine is in bits
