It is amazing what discoveries are made during the cleaning process. The tip of the screwdriver blade, circled in red, is pointing at a minute stamped number. Each of the 4 sub-frame mounting lugs is numbered: - 1 = left hand front 2 = left hand rear 3 = right hand rear 4 = right hand front Numbers 1 & 2 are stamped the correct way; 3 & 4 are inverted. |

An inverted number 3. |

As with all other parts on this engine, the bridge pieces and shims are stamped with the casting identifier V26. These two pieces belong to the left hand rear clamp. |

A complete set. Note that the studs are of unequal length and that the seating washers into the bridge are radiused. The two remade shims, one each of 3 & 4, will be filed down to the correct thickness during assembly. |
