Thought this may amuse some of you.

Whilst refitting the engine and box into my A35 I discovered this forehead slapping moment when about to remove the engine hoist.



can you spot it?

You've built the chain hoist into the car (makes it handy when you're pulling the lump again, I suppose!)

(Chain loops under the engine mount)

You've mounted the Engine wrong way round and now you can't shut the Bonnet because there's a Gearbox in the way where the front Grill should be.

Fancy letting the chain for raising/lowering the lifting tackle get stuck around the engine mount

Oooops! 

[annihilator]

Correct

Last time I worked on an A35 was to take the engine out to "upgrade" a Morris 803cc to a Morrisathousand back in 1971.

Happy days

have you a photo of the whole car?

[Kevin Wood]

D'oh!

Best thing I've seen an A35 do in a while: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWfrcut4KuI

(And I was actually there & saw it live )

Apparently they now fetch quite a premium as they are being snapped up for this race series..

I,ve got an angle grinder you can borrow.

What a pita that was to sort an hour of sweat and tears I'll never get back.you'd think undo a couple of nuts and done no chance took me ages to get the mounting holes to line up again

if it was 803cc would probably have been an A30,pic as requested a bit rough round the edges but solid in all the important places.

Nice project. Tiny cars!

No, the Morris was the 803cc with semaphore signals etc. The A35 was the donor car for a better bigger engine and gearbox
