500 oil guide plate position sought.
Oddjob:
No Ted, you've fitted the lower engine hanger spacer on the wrong side of the engine, it looks to be between the clutch side of the engine and it fits on the other side as I said yesterday, between the protruding flange and the casing on the left hand side of the engine. The engine will now be sitting slightly sideways and the top hanger won't fit properly as the engine is out of line. Same for the front hangers, surprised TBH the lower bolts went in at all.

Okay Grahame has identified the kick start washer being the wrong side of the circlip so that's one issue sorted.

Sorry but I spotted that Ted, Graham just said what it was I'd spotted.
Oddjob:
Ted, please stop ordering stuff from DS, I have loads of spare parts you can have for free.
Oh and 1 down 4 up is correct for gear change Ted.

The parts manual describes the bottom rear collar as item 9 Collar right engine underside,
the top collar item 10 is much larger - that is described as Collar Left engine under - for the top rear engine bolt rear upper.
No way will it fit on the left side - are you testing me again Ken? ;D ;D ;D
Oddjob:
No Ted, not testing, fairly sure it fits on the other side. Would also explain why you're having trouble with the upper hanger bolt not mating up with the hanger bracket.
Admitably it's been a while since I did one of these so maybe someone else can confirm where it goes.
