early and late engine carriers.
Early DG mounts carrying late DJ Engine
Below shows mounts for early version. The two bolts holes go in to engine casing either side of crank pulley at 7and 5 oclock. On later engines these mount holes are blanked off.
Was about to mount a later spare engine and totally forget this difference. I do have late engine bearer but am 60 miles away from home.
Can l adapt early to late without any additional parts? Are the blanking holes in late engine thin tin which l can poke out and find threaded holes behind?
Just tested blanks. Feel solid
Thanks
Stuart

Well what a tea pot l am. So they are. Yet they look so clean l thought they were blanked off. Bugger Out with the drill then.
Saves me riding back to Margate though.
