Re: brake adjustment update (score: 1): Author: Andrew Mace <amace@unix2.nysed.gov>; Date: Tue, 9 Jun 1998 09:46:18 -0400 (); I've always used what I guess is technically a spoke wrench to adjust mine. It can be done easily with tires/wheels in place. The wrench is made by Snap On, is about 8-9" long(?), and has very deep j; /html/spitfires/1998-06/msg00096.html (8,002 bytes)
323. Re: Rear Axle Length (score: 1): Author: Andrew Mace <amace@unix2.nysed.gov>; Date: Wed, 17 Jun 1998 10:16:03 -0400 (); Vic, you are correct! Axles should be the same length on each side.

Re: Rear Axle Length (score: 1): Author: Andrew Mace <amace@unix2.nysed.gov>; Date: Wed, 17 Jun 1998 10:18:49 -0400 (); I meant to add that the axles themselves are not "sided"; they are the same for both sides.

325. RE: Rear Axle Length (score: 1): Author: Andrew Mace <amace@unix2.nysed.gov>; Date: Wed, 17 Jun 1998 11:16:54 -0400 (); Yes, AFAIK. And I've always wondered if that was why the Mk.IV Spitfires ('71 and '72 in the U.S., before one of our UK listers jumps in to correct me :-) ) don't seem to suffer as much from fatigued; /html/spitfires/1998-06/msg00218.html (7,894 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: Andrew Mace <amace@unix2.nysed.gov>; Date: Thu, 18 Jun 1998 10:14:53 -0400 (EDT); A '72 would have come (to the U.S., anyway) with the low-compression, "recessed bore" 1296cc motor, with its whopping :-) 48 hp.

Re: Rear Axle Length -Again (score: 1): Author: Andrew Mace <amace@unix2.nysed.gov>; Date: Thu, 18 Jun 1998 14:00:01 -0400 (EDT); The smaller flange mates up with the earlier (Herald, Spitfire through Mk.3) differential; the larger flange is Spitfire Mk.IV to the end (also GT6, Vitesse, but let's not go there for now).
