Pinto Engine lift "brackets"
Is it worth trying to source the Pinto Brackets to lift a Pinto? I guess it gives a more secure hoist point.

IIRC they stick up over the engine so the bonnet hits them so you have to take them off anyway.
Are you a Mac user or a retard?

As above they stick up above the cam cover but are quite handy for pulling the engine out or puttong it in. If you search for them on ebay they will
probably be called lifting eyes, shouldn't cost a lot.

They bolt to the manifold bolts and don't go anywhere near the bonnet, the rocker and cam cover is higher.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
