      this is true, some resto work ive seen before some people have had axle stands in certain positions and when fitting doors etc they dont fit cos the engine weight on the over hang from the axle stand postion has flexed the shell. in other words get the stands as near to the weight of the egine as poss

              ok, mebbe not a whole inch, but more than i'm willing to force it, thats for sure. as i put in a previous post, i would no doubt be inviting stress cracks within a 1000 miles if i got that lot bolted up.

                am not sayin force any thing,just jack the front up normally on the x member and wit the weight of the legs and wheels will move the inner wings out and the strut brace will stop any movment once the front is back on the ground, proberly because they are orginal inner wing they have moved more than if they had been replaced
