Hi

I need help please....

I need to take my rover v8 out of my tvr griffith chassis now there is a lift point already on the front, but need to make up a point at the back as well. There are multiple points at the back of the block just below the cam covers to bolt a bracket into but I can not find for love nor money what size /pitch the thread is.....

And just spent an hour trying to find it out on the www, but no help

All help greatly appreciated!

Thanks Alex

^ Nah, use an old seat belt ;-) It's not that heavy, lol. I lift iron block chevy's with an old seat belt. Mind you, it was a big fat american fatty burger seat belt lol. God bless america, lol.
