(3) One of the rear engine suspension bolts on the offside is directly under the clutch operating shaft as shown so that the engine has to be prised up that side to make room for the bolt to be inserted in the cruciform member. (4) Provision is required for supporting the rear end of the engine on occasions when the clutch and therefore the Rear Engine Suspension is dismantled. (5) In order to remove the front Engine mounting rubbers, it is first of all necessary to dismantle the wings, radiator, side spare wheel carrier on bonnet side strips. To remove the side strips means also taking off the radiator and spare wheel carrier. (6) The offside transverse body stay fouls the petrol tank filler body (see Lsd 4362). Clearance was obtained by moving the point of attachment to the rear body rail 1" outwards. (7) The L.O.W. should call for 2 - F.{Mr Friese} 87082 Distance Pieces, also 2 - F.{Mr Friese} 60499 Starting Handle Cover Plates. (8) Instead of tapping right through the holes in the frame and the steering box support bracket F.{Mr Friese} 67081, it is recommended that the holes in the frame should be made clearance size in order to ensure the bracket being pulled up solid to the frame channel and side plate. continued. | ||
