Doesn't really matter. Supposedly on the motor is ever so slightly more effective.

2. Using a rather old motor, wich i'm 99% shure that dont have any capasitors, are they placed on the motor? If shottky is placed on motor, they wont fit!?

Should do. Just solder them on the same contacts.

3. Power Caps, what are they, where do they go, what do they do and why!?

They smooth the supply from the battery. Go across the battery +/- connections. The V12 should have one fitted.
