Lucas A127 alternator is a straight swap apparently. Used in the eighties/nineties Rovers/Austins. Metro one is rated at 35 amps I think, and would be about right. Cannot remember what the Spit one

In addition to Dean's comments, I found that Premier Wiring Systems in Woking do 7" halogen headlamps for a tenner each. I cannot remember he make, and I don't know if they will fit the Spitfire (I a

lights work. Same here, only one was working when I got mine. It was illuminating the non-functioning tachometer (the drive cable had snapped) - useful! I think they are 12V 2.2W MES lamps if that h
