Used to use a a couple of parts made of small pieces of steel high-tensile wire arc-welded onto a couple of old cutdown spark plugs, and they worked brilliantly. Can't remember which plug holes though, must be one and four. Rose the engine out at the right angle - not too much crow barring it out at all.

Think one of Clive Trickeys early books it came from.

The brackets fit on the front outer head studs so the diff housing swings away from the bulkhead.Personally I use a Sykes Pickavant engine cradle bracket as it can be altered to lift vertical or on an angle, best £10:00 I spent

The Sykes Pikavant lifting bracket is one of the best things I ever bought.

M-Machine do a modern version of the same thing.

Look to be fetching good money!

I am in the L bracket on centre stud camp - nice and simple. I have the Sykes bracket but have never tried it.
