After reading numerous accounts online of rusted wipacs, and some autopals too, I've come to the conclusion that the Wipac plastic reflector version is the better bet. |

If i do it again I will grind off the gear box a little where it will interfere with the cross member and cut out a short 90 deg. section of the cross member and replace that part with a piece of flat steel welded in as replacement. That will give enough room to keep the engine in its original position. |

I had Wipacs rusting back in the ‘80s, bad enough for a MoT failure. |

I had the same experience as Mike H many years ago - Wipacs rusted and replaced with the Cibies H4?which were not that expensive at the time and really good. |
