Jon, I am still on a learning curve with my car. That said the EA Sports had a crank case with raised feet at both front and rear, less raised at the front. This was necessary in order to place the nose cone in the correct position with the cowl. This puts the rear of the en line and consequently the g/b higher at the bulkhead. Gould's book does not describe this plate in detail as he could not access one. I'm not sure about your question on the ball change, as it is my understanding that all EAs were ball change, that having superseded the gate change. Saloons and tourers have the standard crank case so the cover is different than the EA. When you ask about "Sports", are you referring to 65s and Nippys and 75s and Speedys?
