>1. The left hand side wheelbox's splines are stripped on the '67 Mk3. I can
remove the wheelbox from my '70 Mk.3, but the wipers on the '67 go from left
to right, when seen from inside the car, while the '70's go from right to
left. (They are both LHD's.) Will this be a problem? Also the wiper arm hold
down spring on the right wiper arm broke. Can I get new wiper arms anywhere?
A- Replace the arms to match the ones which came off the donor car- L-R's
aim one direction, R-L's aim the other. You can also flip the wheelbox
itself over. I know that works on Heralds, and believe it will on a
Spitfire. Just gotta look it over first, and take the backplate off. Then,
flip the box, and remount the backplate and actuator cable and tube. You may
have to loosen the retainer nut on the cowl first.
>2. Two nights ago the high beams went out. The indicator light on the
speedo
still works, no high beams. Suggestions?
A- You foot switch has probably gone south, or the headlight hi-beam relay,
if so equipped(which I doubt, knowing Lucas as I do...;) )
