They're not the same kind of finisher as are fitted to the top seams - those are decorative anodised pieces, while the lower finishers are mild steel items, which are welded in place. They are fitte

Bizarrely, there are garages who don't realise that Spitfire sills are structural! Many cars with a chassis do not have load bearing sills (they're screwed on in the case of the Herald!) and these s

A very good point. My wife and I keep 3 cars roadworthy at all times (currently 4, 3 of them Triumphs), and I've not had an MOT failure for nearly 3 years. The last failure I did have was down to a

Well I'll be going along - I've been every year since 1990, and I've no intention of stopping now! It's unlikely that I'll be taking the Spitfire though - the Herald Coupe is more suited to carrying

Tim, You should be able to pick one up at Halfords, as I've had to do a few times (Sunday afternoon... all the "proper" factors closed for the day...). That pattern of thermostat fits an awful lot o

Richard et al, I can relate my experiences with this problem - not on a Spitfire 1500, but a Dolomite 1500, a car which has an identical manifold arrangement and the same problem with eating downpip

Richard, It's a broad generalisation to say that the rear spring is responsible for drivers side sagging - there are a number of other causes, for instance a twisted front anti-roll bar or sagging f

Having recently become a dad, I'm finding the Spitfire is getting less and less use, so I really feel I need to sell it and buy a Convertible we can use as a family. This is an overdive equipped 197

Hi Richard, Like yourself, we have a mundane car (Toyota) for the everyday stuff, plus my own Herald Coupe which alternates with the Spitfire as my everyday transport. At the moment we've ended up t

Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2000 13:50:05 +0100
You certainly need to keep the filter before the fuel pump, as any hard debris can damage the valves in the pump. I always install the filter on the immediate output of the fuel tank, as you are unl

Some cars are classics the moment they roll off the line (Ferrari, Mini, Aston Martin), others become classics for any number of reasons. Most small British sportscars gained Classic status simply b

Hi Gary, The only way I found to get at these nuts on a 1500 was by using a thin walled 9/16 socket with 3/8 drive. I had to buy a new bar with a knuckle joint at one end - not included in the stand

A well maintained 3-rail has a nicer shift than the single rail (IMHO). The overdrive equipped single rail boxes are worse - I believe the geometry of the shift mechanism was changed to clear the ov
