engine and gearbox fitting question

[T1 Terry]

If you have a platform table type lifting set up, build a mounting bracket that will have the engine bar at the correct height the same time as the gearbox mount bolts line up. The alternative is to install the gearbox first, then build a support out of timber blocks or bricks to hold it up in position. Remove the front and rear tin cover plates that fills in the space between the engine and gearbox and over the exhaust so the foam seal fits, this will give you access to put the top bolts in and get them tight. and enough room to wriggle and jiggle as required .... and somewhere for the cursing to bleed out after jamming you fingers for the umpteenth time
