I agree, I guess that is issue with a 50 year old donor car and I expect the front cross member is very solid and hard to fix. They do cut the top out and lower it to fit the engine. I was told that as it is modified they test the cross member to ensure no deflection with a 12 tonne load and and engineer has to see the test performed to sign it off. Not sure how they do the test but the workshop said they expect it is stronger than an original MGB front crossmember.
