Nothing pre-prepared, but here goes, detach:
-brake lines from PDWA
-clutch lines from clutch M/C
-battery cables
-headlight etc wires from the barrel connectors in the bonnet (mark them,
notes on masking tape and attach the tape)
-wires going between sensors and front harness (temperature, oil etc)
-reverse light wiring on transmission
-any remaining wires to wiring harness, and loop out of the way.
-ignition wiring between coil and distributor etc.
-fuel line (and plug it or empty tank, latter is preferred as that makes the
tub lighter to lift)
-handbrake cable assembly
Can't think of more, one point is that I had to take a chisel to uncover the
two bolts in front of the diff, on the parcel shelf behind the seats. They
had been covered with some kind of black goo, that broke up when attacked
with the chisel.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Detaching tub
Okay Spitfire fans. . . Without using too much bandwidth. . .
Where can I find the steps to detach the tub from the frame? I know step
one is
to locate all twelve "magic" bolts, but what else needs to be disconnected?
Anyone have a quick list they can share?
TIA
Bryan
