DO NOT unbolt them from the spine as that will result in a lot of work to re align them later.
Simply lift one side and remove the two 13 mm bolts from the spine on that side. Put the cover down with something to prevent it from locking in place.
Do the same for the other side and with four people lift the covers, joined by the spine and put the assembled unit down in a prepared safe place.

Do not close them completely, always allow a little water flow or the hoses will dry out and split.

Your 'goose is outrageous. I can't believe how original it was when you found it.

I think you mean Lee's car. It has the oft-lost header shields, Air Filter assembly AND even the paper air intake tubes. I sure would like to see a detailed gallery of photos of the car because it does look really original and complete.

Mark, I have more
As long as nobody minds, let me post a few more of interest...
Here is something you may have never seen; this sticker was applied on the bulkhead glass, it is unique per car (with the serial number and signed...here by "Alberto," so seemingly applied in Italy). Btw, I've tried to track the font of the typewriter to Olivetti, still no luck

I meant your yellow car. I was looking at the pictures of it on your web page. It just didn't have the original induction and valve covers. Other then that, it's pretty original. Never saw a Mangust radio before.
If the rest of Lee's car is as original as the induction then, yes it is outrageous too?

So far Mangustas are like Cobras. No one would ever let me sit behind the wheel.
Must be that I grow horns and fangs when I look at them?
I still don't know if I'll fit in a 'goose?

At 6'2", I kinda doubt it.
Seal on the steering column...Someday this will be worth points at Concours...
(update October 2024---8MA840 is the only other Goose I've seen that has this still on the steering column. And still, nobody can explain why it was there (some guesses that it was a tax emblem, but I think this is wrong...Miura guys have this, they can't explain it either...!)

red inspection marks just about everywhere, here on the motor mount brackets. Note yellow insert in the nylocks on the rear suspension--I swear I think other places had red insert nylock. good luck finding those... (ps, red insert Nylocks were probably supplied by ESNA. Yellow insert nyloc nuts were used by Ferrari and are slightly easier to find, see Abbot Interfast).
(BTW, "torque seal" Marking between nut and bolt is otherwise common to detect rotation, but is not used on the Goose---only marking on the top of the bolt head).
