<div>Without going to the body parts illustration, there's a channel
running across the top of the boot covered by the vinyl top "cover" so I can't
really see it. Anyhow the balance hose ran through that channel on my Mark 2,
but I can't say for certain that was the original location; I bought the car
in 1976. I don't recall the hose being secured.</div>

<div>That is about right, I have an old</div>
