Ok, you all are great and thanks for the info on the carb. oil. Now, I have a fuse question. There are four fuses and the top one is 5A, then 17A, 17A ahd 17A. Is this correct or should there be different Amp. or all 17A? The top one was blown, I don't want to put wrong size in again. The car i

Hi all, nothing saddens me more than to hear this. It's just about the first post I've received from the Spitlist since, for unknown reasons, I'd been bumped off - and not noticed it - because I'm involved with Nass. It was only until I had posted something, that I became aware of this fact...y

Nolan, Keep in mind that the MOT process is more stringent than most of our safety inspections here in the States. I took my then 4 year old Spitfire in for MOT, and it failed for rusty brake lines. The Stag I had at VTR/TRF would never be allowed on the roads in the UK. I don't want to say that t

Well folks, I got two replies about my frame and unfortunately they dont agree. James said it looked the same as his Mk3, and BillG reckons it looks like his MkIV / 1500. Although to be fair, I am told there are only small differences to the framework between these two Mk's but what they are I d
