TR3A. #10: replacing the transmission brace plate & mount

Because I upgraded to a TR6 type A OD transmission,

the new transmission mount was to far back to line up, therefore after modifying the base plate with slots, And flipping it over so the back flange would not impede the mount.
I bolted on the new replacement. The new trans. mount (from TRF) is the proper size. But is not quite the same. The old original mount was still in pretty good shape, but getting soft and corroded.

this was rather an easy job, because most of it is from above, once the trans. Hump is removed.
simply raise the tranny with a jack and you have good access.

i also repainted the timing chain cover, after a botched job last time.
