It was never mounted there on Oz cars. That wiring doesn't look right.
Early cars had it on the clutch housing, later ones had it on the steady bar bracket like you had before.
Where did you buy the harness from?

The normal mounting position for the solenoid is above the bendix gear end of the starter motor, on a bracket which is fixed to the flywheel housing at the point where there are two tapped holes.

Cheers

It looks to me like you have the harness too far around the front of the engine. Try pulling it back along the inside front guard.

There is a triangular bracket which mounts to the clutch housing

Don't suppose it could be for the Rover style solinoid. Just a thought.
