I’d of been looking all over the net for the answer..

In a similar scenario it is usually possible to slacken off the engine mounts and stabiliser and “persuade” the engine forward half an inch or more. I had to do it when fitting a Guy Broad 5-speed in an FHC for someone.

Thanks peter, hopefully I’ll never need to do it again, but if so I’ll bear that in mind....
Just to conclude this topic I today took the car out for a spirited 50 mile jaunt..
Got her home and delighted, bone dry!
So there you have it it works a treat, and so easy to do.
Thanks again guys
