[Spits] Help needed for early Spitfire front crank seal

Ok, so I was absolutely sure I had one on the shelf...to replace the one that was leaking on my daily driver '67 Mk. II (1147 cc). Unfortunately, I was wrong. I need to get this car back on the road by Monday if possible. I understand all the 1147's and 1296's through 1970 have the same s

[Spits] spitfire parcel tray supports

Would someone please tell me, positively, which way the crash bar supports for the parcel trays (glove boxes) are installed? I have bought Spitfires (68, 71, 73, and 76) to restore and for parts, and sifted through a half dozen others for parts over the years, and I have seen them installed in

[Spits] Spitfire Floor Jack

Hi, I am looking for a floor jack that will fit under the front spoiler on my 80 Spitfire back to the frame rail. Does anyone know of a jack that will do that? Hopefully not too expensive - around $100. Thanks, Roger ___ Spitfires@autox.team.net
