Hi all - refitted the engine/gearbox back into my '55 A10 PLUNGER and thought what an easy job it was. That was until I realised that the offside front engine plate will not fit with the engine in the frame!. I have tried jacking up the engine but just ended up scratching my newly painted plates and no joy. So I realise I will probably have to remove the engine again, fit the plates (after I have repainted them) and then refit the engine. However it looks a tricky job inserting the front plates onto the top frame lug, having to pass the lug into and between the very small gap that now exists on the plates, as well as trying to engage the bottom rear mounting pins into the frame holes. I can see I am going to scratch my plates again. Any tips which might help me?
Thanks
John.
