Dan,

The rear deck of a Cent consists of two sets of hinged covers: the forward set of five interlocking covers are the engine compartment covers, the rear set are the transmission covers.

Both sets must be lifted in the correct sequence (different for each set). The engine compartment covers hinge at the rear, and are lifted from the front, ie closest to the turret, hinging backwards over the transmission covers. The turret must be positioned in the correct part of the traverse for each engine cover in turn to be lifted. (The transmission covers hinge forwards, and are rested against the side of the turret when open).

The oil cooler is below the engine covers, slightly right of the Meteor engine centerline. It is hinged at the front, ie nearest the turret, to allow it to be rotated clear for access to other parts of the engine peripherals, but does not require disconnection from the oil lines (which connect at each side of the pivot point or 'hinge'). It pivots in an arc upwards, and as the image shows, can be lent against the turret between the bins if the turret is in the correct position.
