It's really fine just laying there. The tranny case and starter form a sort of V-groove which holds the cable nicely. I wouldn't put a P-clip under a side cover stud, because those covers are under a lot of stress from the differential, and putting a piece of plastic there would make it a lot less rigid. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
