Yet there was one taken from the the other side from the rear. But for the life of me I can't find it anymore. Hoping that somebody might have a copy of it somewhere.

The reason why I ask would be the heatshield on the carb setup with regards to the clearance on the exhaust manifold.

And a few from the “high performance minis gold portfolio” - Autosport Sep 22 1961. There are a couple of engine bay photos, but they are hard to photograph on my phone
