I want to install a lap/shoulder belt in my [slowly-being-resurrected] Spitfire Mk3, and would like to get others' recommendations as to the required lengths of the short [buckle] end and of the lon

FWIW, bidding at the last moment is known as "sniping" and there is nothing wrong/sleazy/... with it. I don't like it myself, but then I just bid my max and if I get the item, I'm happy. If not, the

When I lost the original Herald/Spit/Vitesse/GT6 shop manual by $1, I was bummed, but then realised that since that was the bid increment, there was no way to know how much I really lost by. It is p

Positive camber is primarily a means of loading the inner bearing and axle stub more than the outer. The inner parts are sturdier, as they are not hanging out so far from the supporting structure, a

Well, for my money, the Mk 3 is THE one to get, unless you would rather have the "Mk 1" versions. Mk3 has the 1300cc engine, instrument cluster ahead of the driver, higher-set bumper at the front, a

All right! I'll talk! the cam doohickey actuates a normally open switch which allows the OD to engage only when the trans is in third or fourth gear. Don't recall right now whether the contacts are i

The voltage stabiliser is actually a [slow-speed electromechanical with very little damping] switch-mode regulator. So a DVM will show all over the place. The output is a pulse-width modulated squar

[...] Likely not ruined yet -- the OD should be engaged in 1st or 2nd gears. Too much torque for the OD clutch, as you've discovered. Don't keep trying to use it down there, and it should be OK. Don
