Sam,
I am going to put a prop under the bell housing.
The only way I can think is to remove the belt, pulley and harmonic and a use a longer bolt use another prop.
My mechanic "SHOULD" be work.
Col used is exactly what you did.
I hope will weight the motor being all aluminium.
Regards.
Thanks for all the different ways to try support the engine.
I was told a few guy's not to touch the harmonic balancer or pulley or using the bolt in the harmonic.
Regards.

Hi Mando,
I have a drop tank like yours (Brown davis), Does your filler neck has a vent hole connecting to one of the back 3 fuel tank vents?
I am now in a process plumbing the hoses. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Joe.

Hi Joe,
I have 3 tubes into the back of the tank but there is no tube into the filler neck.
Regards..

Hi Mando, how’s the hatchback going? Do you have it registered yet and are you out cruising? Still keeping an eye out at one of the many coffee and chromes. Cheers

Hi Brad,
how are you going.
Did you get to the GMH car show at Glenelg at the Reserve.
I've been driving the car on a permit so far going around up to Glenelg and to Mt Barker.
I cancelled the engineer on November but it should go at AIR on Wakefield Rd Virginia providing the temps no more than up to 30 degrees.
Let me know if you want to stop in one of the day's
Regards Mando.

Go back to post 409 and re read what you wrote that day, and in the months afterwards Mando. Anybody reading this page now wouldn't even know how badly scrambled up you were back then. I don't know if you have made a full recovery, but I am glad you are sounding like you are back to your old self.

Glad you’ve got it out on the road at least, when are you heading to AIR? Does that mean you don’t need an engineer now or you just put it off for now? Agree with Laurie too, glad you’re sounding a lot better. Cheers

Thanks Brad,

I hope on a hot day.
