Besides the disect it etc.... the cylinder off set is the opposite on the TL to the SV, rear to the left on the TL, rear to the right on the SV, so my mech told me and it cerainly appears to be the case, just incase anyone is thinking of any other TL/SV swaps.

Search for "Spondon", 3 hits. Search for "Spondon" posted by me, 30 hits. That's a little odd...
