Status: offline 		I do the same as John.....

Mount it to the side of the fuselage just aft of the engine ... screw it into the firewall, or preferably add a piece of plywood inside of the nose to bolt it to.

See image (a bit fuzzy, but you will get the idea)

Status: offline 		Bob - thanks for the picture. I do like the idea of the remote needle - that was one of the nice things about the rear intake F1 engines - the needle valve was way behind the prop.

Also makes it easier to service the fuel tank like this.
