I agree Bob, I didn't like the idea of the amount of chassis flex when lifting on a two poster.
If I need lift the wheels up on the four poster then I just use the jacking beam.

Good to hear. I've been trying to align my bellhousing for the gearbox swap, so I've been under and out of the car 30-40 times as I couldn't get it right. I decided I needed to get a hoist about two weeks ago, and the wife strangely said yes, so I've now ordered one and I should have it by late next week. That should help immensely with slotting the new gearbox in.

A bit more progress happening, slow going but I am not in any hurry.
The original bonding strips are cleaned up. I have removed the bottom section of the rear splash shield, I will bond it back in when the fender are bonded on.
Checking the fit of a bonding strip for the rear section. This is a 2" wide strip cut from the unused rear section of the new fenders.
The bonding areas of the new fenders need sanding.
As they are hand laid the thickness of the panels vary quite a bit. The original panels are 1/8" thick so I made up a thickness gauge and sanded the bonding areas of the new panels to this thickness. This way the new and original panels will be relatively even when fitted.
I am cutting it a bit fine for clearance. The pictures are of the rear lowered so its just on the bump stops.
I have trimmed the inner lip to clear the tyre, there's not much in it.
I am using my 9.5" rim with a 1.5" spacer to mimic an 11" rim to set it up. I'll see how it looks after both fenders are on and the 11" rims fitted. I still may have to machine the inner wheel hub a few mil to gain some more room.

Mate what is the overall width across the rear wheels
