Help with M605 - vacuum headlight adjustment

Hi all, just joined this forum - I am a Dutchman living in Canada at the moment and doing a restomod of a 1989 Carrera. It will end up having a 3.4 with PMO throttle bodies, 6 speed G50 (yes in an early 1989 G model), drip rails removed along with sunroof and full backdate to 1973 S appearance.

But, I am fitting the M605 headlight adjustment option to the car as in my previous 911 I had some challenges with not annoying oncoming traffic at night when the car load varied (full luggage, 2 passengers etc).

I have all the parts, and have fitted the system pretty well, but I cannot find where exactly to fit the vacuum reservoir (as per attached pictures). The factory parts list shows it at the end of ~1m of hose, so obviously it goes on the right hand side (my car is LHD)...but I can't find any sort of holes/bracket or whatever to mount it.

I am hoping someone who has the M605 option in an '89 can tell me where exactly it goes, how it is mounted or what it is mounted to.

A big thanks in advance if anyone can tell me, this one has befuddled me for a while

D.
