What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Parazine]

Hi All

Put the engine and reconditioned three speed box back in the RK.  Struggled with the clutch lever (as I did last time) despite having cut a relatively large hole in the floor pan. Ended up fitting the lever and spring with the engine on the hoist and nearly in position so that the lever was past the vertical part of the bulkhead and still accessible to fit the cotter.

Anyone else have problems getting the engine and box into a Chummy / RK?

I put the gearbox in first and then follow with the engine. A jack under the gearbox helps align it...For three speed gearboxes, I put the withdrawal bearing on the clutch levers and push that onto the nose of the gearbox as the engine goes in, sounds unlikely but generally works.
