This is an update to my earlier post about the differences between
the Spitfire Mk1 and Mk2 seat frames. I currently have in my
possesion 2 passenger seat frames and 1 driver seat frame known to be
from Mk1's. I have a driver and passenger seat frame known to be
from a Mk2. There is a difference on the bottom portion of the frame
from the Mk1 to the 2. Something like a little dip in the frame for
the Mk2. Well monday that theory was blown away. I recieved 2 seat
cushions and a driver seat frame that are most definitely from a Mk1.
Well, this frame looks just like the ones that came out of the
Mk2's!!! Now my current theory is, just prior to the introduction of
the Mk2, Triumph started making the anticipated changes to parts and
used some of them on the Mk1's. If any one has any thoughts on this
I would love to hear them. I guess nothing is ever as it appears!!
