I finally got round to taking the engine out the metro today before I get rid the shell. As I dont have an engine crane I had to improvise with a block and tackle that was lying round, and whatever was strong enough to stand the engine weight.

You need to change the starter motor solenoid braket for the mini one. The Metro one lets the main live cable get a bit close to the front panel.
In the 13's at last!.. Just |
