Hi guys, does anyone have an explanation or diagram/picture for how the green fuel tank breather (think they are breathers) pipes assemble?

When I took them off the car when removing the fuel tank I forgot to take pictures and now I have forgotten. What I have separarated is as follows: thick green pipe which is still on the fuel tank, I have a Y connector, and I have a longer and thinner green pipe. The filler pipe is still on the car. I remember a pipe going through a hole in the chassis, can anyone explain how to refit these all please?
 
The thick one goes through the chassis leg and and connects to the top of the filler pipe via the Y piece, you should have another short length of the larger pipe to connect the Y piece to the filler pipe itself. The Y-piece should have one small outlet, the smaller pipe is connected to that. It then runs under the chassis leg, up around the front and side of the tank and is clipped into the plastic bracket that is mounted to the rear tank mounting stud. There should be plastic clips in the floor above the tank for it to sit in.

Hope that helps(y)

Thanks man appreciate it :)
 
Really sorry to come back to this guys, but I want to be sure what I am doing is correct, I have got as far as only needing the last thin long pipe connected up, Could I have a photo of the following:

1- Where it attaches to the top of the filler neck
2-Where it runs under the chassis leg
3- Where it clips to next to the fuel tank
4- Where it runs along the front and side of the tank

Many thanks in advance, I hope someone can help!
 




the yellow thingy on the second pic. is a plastic "holder" for the thin overfill pipe{green} attached with the tank with same m8 nut.not present at the picture.I could not find this part anywhere when I was assembling the tank , so I have used trustworthy zip :). Ofcourse few days later I stumbled upon this part on the garage floor.
