Hi All, Since I blowed up the diff in our '68 GT6, I went out & purchased a diff from a '79 Spit. I went ahead & pulled the back off the blowed up punkin...not good inside there! I wanted to use the

I just removed the leaf spring from the diff of my SpitSix project car. On top, there is a rectangular plate, under that, there is the spring. There are 6 double-threaded bolts that go through a rect

Todd asked: You don't have to be an expert. The pumpkin comes off the back with minimal trouble and with no effect on the critical mechanicals. Remove the four u-joint flange bolts on each side with

Of course you know the GT6 rear end is 3.27 ratio and the Spitfire is 3.89 Clark Clark W. Nicholls 1972 Stag 1974 Spitfire (and 2 rusty GT6's needing restoration) "Reality, it's not what you think."

hi Todd A few points to consider: A '68 GT6 and '79 Spit differential are similar but not identical. I don't think you can swap the guts from the Spit into the GT6 diff case as the early crownwheel c

Not necessarily, the GT6 with overdrive had 3:89 ratios, at least over on this side of the pond - ** Barry Schwartz La Mesa, CA (San Diego) _______________________________________________ Support Tea

All true enough. As a complication, IIRC, "they" put a 3.89 into those GT6's which got the OD gearbox and which were destined for North America. The rest of the world, or at least the home market, go

Hi All, Guess I should mention, this GT6 does have an overdrive gearbox...maybe it won't make a bit of difference then? Todd _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://ww

You sure have an interesting collection of cars, three Mk I's, two of which are RHD. On which side of the Pond do you live, for all love? And how is it that one is considered a '66? I thought they st
