Sorry... Urgent Request for Friend - Marina Front Engine Plate

I know board etiquette dictates that we not post "wanted" in the regular part of the board. However, this is a fairly urgent request and I need to get "eyes" on it.


A friend of mine runs an Austin Marina in Lemons racing. They are running an MGB engine in the car and are building a spare engine for this season. They have all the engine parts they need for the B... except to drop the engine in the Marina they need a MARINA front plate for the MGB engine.


Would any of you have possibly taken this the other direction and stripped a Marina engine for parts and happen to have a Marina front plate for the B-series engine? Any source or leads will be appreciated.


Thanks,
Doug L.

Thanks JP. I will forward the link to my friend.

The urgency is that the cam cannot be installed until after the front plate is on. There are a number of steps (such as degreeing the cam and fitting timing gears/chain) that cannot be completed until he has sorted this plate issue. I am encouraged that my friend reports he may have found a workaround to get through this.
