The only guide is a line drawing of the shell that outlines roughly where the plates go.

if you cant afford the HH kit, you can get copies on ebay for ?65

Yeah thats the same drawing, Ive got the build manual.

If you have a bare engine bay..draw round both the front eng mounts & the surrounding areas, the plate should fall below the chassis leg & then tuck it back under to weld it on the underside, thus creating another box section which stiffens themount/end of the chassis leg.
