At this stage left hoist attached and raised rear of engine up against trans' tunnel. this makes it easier to couple up gearbox mounting by raisin or lowering slightly to allow holes to align for bolt insertion.All fastened up now, hoist removed, ring bolts removed and replaced with head studs and torqued down to 65lb.
Bluespray,the ring bolts are stainless, obtained from ships chandlers,threaded part removed and then welded to head bolts/studs. Very secure.
