[Mgs] maybe to save others some time and frustration

[PaulHunt73]

Depends on the rear springs.  On an MGB at least when fully fitted out and sitting on its wheels there should be a curve in the rebound straps, which means they can be fitted and removed easily without any additional weight.  However for some time springs were way too hard and/or arched which jacked the rear right up and additional weight had to be added to compress them enough.  It's hardly surprising that without an engine/gearbox higher, although I do remember someone asking why his suspension was fully extended front and rear, with engine and gearbox fitted, and he only mentioned later that it was on a rotator ...

  You had better luck than I did. I was trying to do it without the engine or transmission in the car. I wound up piling 5 spare wheels and tires plus a heavy toolbox in the boot, plus everything else heavy I could find in the cockpit. Managed it, though.
