<DIV>Yes thanks for pointing that out however, before we confuse everyone, I
should add that what you have mentioned about the spacers does NOT apply to the
6 cylinder engines that used that blanking plate. Sixes just used 5/16" UNF nuts
with spring washers.

<DIV>May I just add to this because on face value this plate fitting
arrangement appears to be a bit strange? On the block are two studs over which
the plate is fitted but the long studs have collars to space out the nuts and
spring washer on the studs that would be too long. The question is why not use
shorter studs? The answer I believe is that when engines were being made it
was not known if the engine was to be fitted to an Austin Atlantic or an
AH100. Production is an assembly process and taking out long studs and fitting
shorter alternatives would slow down production. It was much more straight
forward to fit either the mechanical pump or a blanking plate with collars to
take up the length when a thinner plate was fitted on a 100.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Something similar on the four cylinder block. I am sure
there is factory cover for this opening in the block, but I did not
have one with the block that was given to me as a basis for my engine
build. David at British Car Specialists makes up plates just for this
purpose. Unless you are doing a concours restoration, David's plate
will work just fine. In fact I just installed mine. Here it is
before painting.</DIV>

not my engine but mine should look similar some day. On the side of the
block there is a mounting point for a fuel pump just to the left of the SP
casting mark. It looks like versions of this engine block used in other
cars had a cam driven fuel pump. I am interested to know the size of the
hole in the block for the cam driven pump and if BMC ever supplied a
blanking plate to cover the hole. Part number appreciated if it
exists.</SPAN></P></DIV>
