I can't help with a '70, but on my '76 TR6 the canister is mounted in a
metal bracket that is attached to the right side of the radiator, held
in place by the two radiator bolts (bottom and side). The canister is
held in place by a round metal band that is fastened by a machine screw
and nut.
Anyway, that's how a '76 is assembled.
As I was ready to send this message, a quick review of the Victoria
British catalog shows a different looking mounting bracket for the
'70-'71. That mounting bracket (which VB doesn't sell) appears to mount
with two bolts - apparently into the sheet metal (my best guess from the
illustration).

Subject: TR6 carbon cannister location?
I'm trying to reinstall the carbon cannister on my '70
LHD TR6 (removed by
a PO). I thought it should bolt onto the right rad
support stay, but there
isn't enough room (by 5-10 mm) between it and the
wheelarch. A couple of
pictures I have from various books show cannisters
mounted behind the upper
of the 2 bottom rad hoses (bolted on the engine mount?),
and ahead of the
rad support stay and even with the rad. Can anyone set
me straight?
Thanks,
Rod. '70 TR6 CC55899L
