Right on Keith, I'm in complete agreement with your reply
on this subject!! To my knowledge, no one publishes an
early Spitfire catalog?? When I was restoring my 1964 in
1991, they did have a catalog at that time and I purchased
90% of my parts from them. Not because of the catalog, but
because of the quality. To this day, all their parts are still
functioning and wish I could say the same about the few
parts from other suppliers. I also have a parts manual and
look up the part number I'm in need of and call it in, no
problem!! They also have a toll free number for parts, if you
do not have the part number. They have a toll free number
for tech help and have very knowledgeable people there
to help you!! The other two majors have very few parts for
the early Spits, so I don't even bother calling them, especially
the one in the mid-West!! They cost me over 1,000 bucks,
because of defective differential gears and their 6 months
warranty on same. Even though I'm 1200 miles from TRF,
they will always get my business!! Bill
