Joe, you DARE to question my wisdom, simply because my recent hands-on
experience with TR250s is limited to one example that has seen many, many
DPO bodges and strange modifications?

Actually, I don't doubt you for a second! ;-) I was thinking along the
lines of Herald and Spitfire motors, many of which did have longer studs
for the reason I gave. Heck, I don't even remember at the moment what my
GT6+ has for lifting eyes, if anything.

Darn, that makes it TWICE now in my life that I've been wrong!
