Thanks, mitch. Your suggestion worked perfectly. Actually I just
used a couple wire ties to hold the tranny up, and the engine
slipped right back in - no sweat. (Sorry, Ed).
I'd also like to put in a plug for a new-to-me parts supplier. When
I had the engine sitting on the floor, I realized I should have
ordered a new flywheel ring gear. The usual suspects - Moss, VB, MH
are all three day's shipping from me, and I was anxious to get it
back together, so I called Gordon at The B-Hive (800-652-4483) in
Clemson, SC, just a few miles from here. I hadn't tried him before
because I thought he did only MGB parts, but darned if he didn't
have a 1275 ring gear on the shelf. He's a knowledgable and very
nice guy, and his price was certainly okay. His price was $39 as
opposed to Moss who gets $54, and the gear I got from him still had
the Moss sticker on it. You all might want to put him on your list
of folks to check price/availability with.
Now let's see - if Moss makes a profit selling to Gordon, and he
makes a profit selling to me at $39, then how much profit does Moss
make selling direct to me at $54?
