Subject: [Spridgets] Removing lump on 74 midget

From: Ryan via Spridgets <[email-masked]>

Planning on pulling the lump together. I removed the 2 bolts in either side of the tunnel. The two bolts that normally come in from the bottom of the car through the bracket are not there neither is the bracket. However when I look through the peep hole at the tale end Of the trans I can see a metal strap bolted to the trans mounting bracket. Does this need to be removed? It’s been 10 years since I pulled the lump.
