Hello All,
I'm a semi-new Spitfire owner, and will start de-lurking to participate more
in the list. I have a 78 Spit, that I am in the process of first, just
getting running, and eventually completely rebuilding (one part at a time,
as money allows). So far I've rebuilt the master cylinders, and clutch
slave. Redone the brakes, and done some minor painting. But now I'm
stumped. When I bought the Spit, the PO threw in a header that he thought
would fit, but.... Although the holes line up, there are, for lack of a
better definition, extra tabs on the headers that cause the headers to have
a differing thickness than the intake manifold. Can I make this header
work, just by grinding off the above mentioned tabs, or do I need a
different header all together ? Has anyone seen tabs like this on a header
? Is it for a different year Spit ?
Any help would be appreciated,
Dan
