Same set up as I have exactly, it is tight, mine has a hinge fitted on the bulkhead as marked to allow fitting and removal of the rocker cover. The engine mounts are a right bigger to get in too, had to jump on the engine for about an hour with a friend :) want me to take any photos?

Wish I’d known also as I have a full SU inlet manifold I’m removing this winter along with the exhaust (standard) manifold and a 1 3/4 inch stainless exhaust. If you do need an exhaust then it’ll be available somepoint. I treated myself to a full Martin inlet and exhaust system

definitely interested let me know I was gonna bend something up but will consider it thanks again
 
Ok so it’s about 45-50mm from the back of the rocker cover to the rear bulkhead.
See pics for the flap open and closed..you wouldn’t get it on or off without it B5139877-70D6-4D56-867A-83FDD540A495.jpeg353F4F97-AE2D-4050-A60C-BC2BE5F0A0CD.jpegB159C534-9134-4EF5-AEE6-13DD099077D9.jpegB5139877-70D6-4D56-867A-83FDD540A495.jpeg353F4F97-AE2D-4050-A60C-BC2BE5F0A0CD.jpegB159C534-9134-4EF5-AEE6-13DD099077D9.jpeg
 
Nice mod Jim:)
Mine is original there and the rocker cover+ head removal is tight. I had to jack up the gearbox to wriggle the head back on though.
 
Wasn’t me was Steve Williams who fitted the engine before I bought it though have had it out a couple of times since :)
 
cheers guys Defo gonna make a removable piece and gonna cut bottom bolts off the crossmember to make moving engine mounts easier to work with
 
Driver side about 2’ from rear wheel. It’s yours can’t say when it’ll be off but hoping this winter, depends on time as doing a full refit hopefully
