Well
everyone,
I have found myself in an internal struggle over the last number
of years between keeping the Spitfire and chasing the dream of getting it on
the road and cruising around town with the top down, or getting rid of it for
some much needed garage space and re-visit the LBC dream anot
Wow, 1/4" off the head seems excessive! I knew that the 1500 combustion
chambers were deeper, but i didn't realize they were that much deeper! I
guess i never checked compression on it to see how much i was losing. When i
was first putting the motor together, i was pulling parts out of various b
I have reason to believe that the head on my '68 is from the DPO's 1500. no
problems with the exhaust or intake manifolds fitting properly. I did have
some issues with the length of the head bolts though.

Unfortunately, my LBC isn't even close to being ready for this week. :( Needs
a lot of time and money. Maybe this week while the child is at grandma and
grandpa's house, I can get under the bonnet again.
As she sits...

That's pretty cool! Never seen that before. My concern is though that i want
to maintain the functionality of the rear boot. So the farthest back i would
go with the speedster tonneau would be to the boot lid. but then that will
also require a cutout for the fuel lid. Cheers,Dave> Date: Wed, 27
Thanks Mike! That e-bay item is pretty much exactly what i am thinking about.

I have never seen a spitfire with something like that but I like the look.
The Porsche ones that i have seen are also 2-piece molded parts like that for
easy storage when the t
Has anyone ever considered making a "speedster" convertible top cover for a
spitfire? A reference to what I am talking about could be found on a C5
Corvette Convertible or even the Porsche Boxsters had a "Speedster Cover"
available.
I am considering the feasibility of this project since I am curre
I would like to know this as well as i am also considering the LeMans style
paint scheme for my Spit. Thanks!

Hello all,
I tore apart my gauges over the weekend to clean them up only to find that
the rubber gaskets holding the glass in sunggly under the chrome bezel are all
destroyed.
What have people used to replace these? Are there large o-rings somewhere
for some application that fit the gauges?
Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone happens to have a picture of the connections to the
small fuse box for a MK3 Spitfire? I have a diagram of the wires going into
the voltage regulator, but forgot to make note of the wires from the back of
the fuses.
Thanks,
Dave

Hello listers,
ASide from Ebay, does anyone know where i could pick up a PDWA switch for my
1968 Spitfire? Mine is in pretty bad shape. I looked at Spitbits, and they
had no price listed for the part (I will be calling later this afternoon),
Victoria British does not have the part listed for a 6
I have seen it spelled both ways. But it just doesn't look right with an

In terms of finding a chemical used to "convert" rust, I have found Naval
Jelly to be quite effective. Found at local NAPA auto parts stores and
various others, it is a jelly that you just brush onto bare metel and then
wash off. I have used it on the body of my spitfire with great results so
