basically it goes in the only place and way it'll fit... assuming you're fitting a VH44 type, the nose points forwards

In a Clubby I have seen them mounted backwards, or also mounted up high near bulkhead, pointing across the car. Makes engine removal easier. |

I won`t mention the "other" way to mount a booster

They also say the booster should be angled slightly up at the nose to assist with bleeding as you can see in this pic....

This is how they are fitted to a Clubbie GT 
But the problem you face is that the Brakes in your 78 model are a Tandem (split Front & Rear) Circuit set up. This is an ADR requirement. You can Boost Fronts only or get a Rover set-up. .................... Gee, this was some time ago, Simon

If you have a 78 clubby, I'm not sure you can mount it where most of these are. You'll have the washer bottle and brake bias valve in the way. You may need to get a bracket to lift it higher. I suppose you could move the washer bottle, though. |

...but if it's a '78 doesn't it have a tandem system anyway (or was that only the 1275 LS). |

Yes it does, but you can servo the front circuit only, in hard braking that does all the work anyway. I've done it on a few cars over the years. |

Only very small difference is that on the Rover Proportioning Valve they only have one outlet for the front brakes and then use a union on the front right flexible hose take off in the subframe, very similar to the Ozzy single circuit set up. Will make no difference though, just a detail..... <EDIT> The booster on the Rover Set up works on the Pushrod in to the Master Cylinder (like 99% of modern Cars), where as the single circuit booster (eg VH44) works in the hydraulic circuit on the output from the Master Cylinder. Another way of doing it is BMW & Merc. style - two hydraulic boosters, yeah, like there is lots of room to do that......... <2nd EDIT> I don't like (hate in fact) those Proportioning Valves! There are better (factory) ones. |

It is that set up as it diagram above. the washer bottle has been moved by previous owner to suit a booster in the area infront of the master. thanks all for your help |
