[Mgs] watch your chains

[Glenn Schnittke]

Have to agree with Paul here. When you're inserting both as a unit it's 
easy to preload one leg of the bridle and use a floor jack to adjust 
angle once it's in place. Less easy when you're trying to mate the block 
to the transmission. Anything can be done of course. But nobody had 
imagined tilters when the cars were built. There are a number of tools 
that I use that the factory didn't have. Then again there are a number 
of Jaguar tools that the factory had that can't be had today for love 
nor money.
