Hi Paul, just on the side of the sump at the back nr the filter, looks like a normal bolt

In Mike's photo, I assume the bracketed bar (painted black) attached to the drain plug boss is the lower engine tie bar? If so, it's completely different from the other engines and very different from that shown on the MGRski drawings. Or is this something else?
