I fitted the rear engine plate to the block and offer up the stand mounting plate to see which hole lined up and what would be the best position.
After a lot of fiddling around I decided I would drill two holes to allow me to mount it centrally to two top gearbox studs, allowing the adjustable arms to reach vertically downwards spreading the weight evenly.
Only problem I had was finding the right length bolts and nuts, looking through my farther's old boxes of imperial nuts and bolts I finally found some.

This is my record of the restoration of my 1977 Triumph TR7, I bought the car in 1983 for £1500. Over the four years of driving it I had got married, moved to a 110 year old cottage in need of renovation and given a new company car. The TR was parked in the garage (1987) at the end of the garden. I always joked saying "that one day I put it back on the road". Twenty-four years later (Nov 2011) that day has arrived - wish me luck.
