I bought a really nice rust free Spit Six about two years ago. Solid =

12,500.00 out of her. But as most of you know I like to swap stuff, =
maybe Spit race parts or who knows, plus cash of course, LOL!!
=20
This is all the correspondence I had prior to buying the car, see the =
attached pics too:
Mark,
=20
Nice to see I am talking with a true Triumph person. My very first car =
was a Triumph and my very last car is also a Triumph.
=20
#1. GT6 calipers, remanufactured with spacers by Canley. I still have =
the original Spitfire calipers if you want them.
=20
#2. The GT6 suspension towers were mounted on the Spitfire frame, this =
was necessary for proper fit of the GT6 engine in the bay. GT6 knuckle =
with larger diameter axle was also installed.

#3. I was not convinced by Canley's method of mounting the vented =
caliper on the wheel hub. It was a loose fit with centering made by  the =
4 wheel studs. I machined the hub with a journal so the 2 diameters =
would be aligned. The aluminum spacer was required to give the stock =
track. Canley uses a thick washer and actually increases the track a =
little.
=20
#4. Hardtop has new window rubber, I have the window seal ( just need to =
install it ), headliner is original,  slightly stained, one small L =
shaped tear perhaps 7 x 7 mm long.
=20
#5. Everything is operational.
=20
#6. I stayed with the stock wheels because they were original to the =
car. I do have a set of ready to go painted GT6 steel wheels we can talk =
about.
=20
#7. I agree it looks high. I used the GT6 front springs thinking the =
additional weight of the 6 cylinder engine would lower the front end too =
much if I keep with the Spitfire springs. I now think the stock Spitfire =
springs might work better.
=20
#8. Cooling works like a charm with the 3 row core, everything cooling =
the way it is supposed to.
=20
#9. I stayed with the Spitfire rear spring, the height looks good here.
=20
#10. I become a bit obsessive about getting things correct. I was a lot =
more work cutting out the old brackets, refurbishing them, and welding =
them on the Spitfire. But when I ask myself, if this GT6 convertible had =
come from the factory, how would they have done it. I had no choice.
=20
#11. The chrome trim plate at the top of the windshield has scratches, =
this I would replace. I rechromed the small aluminum trim pieces that =
fit over the door seal , there seems to have had a chemical reaction as =
they are now pitted. Never got around to installing a radio. Windshield =
washer pump ( button type in the dash ) does not work. Could not find a =
replacement. The chap who did the alignment had never seen this set up =
before, it handles just fine, but should be checked by someone with =
Triumph experience.=20
=20
I await your next set of questions,
=20
Regards,
=20
Dan
=20
Dan,
=20
WOW I love the info, thanks!=20
=20
Ok questions:
#1
The front vented discs =E2=80=93 Are there the GT6 Calipers or the Spit =
calipers?
#2
Did you change over the Spit upright and stub axle to the GT6 upright =
and stub axle? If not did you upgrade to the Canley larger diameter stub =
axle made for Spits??
#3
Is that an aluminum spacer I see on the front wheel hub to move the =
wheel out some to clear the caliper??
#4
I see the hardtop was painted like the car probably when you painted the =
car, did you have to restore the rubber weather-strip on it and the =
headliner or not??
#5
Dumb question for a car that looks so nice, but does everything work, =
lights , horn, heater, heater fan, turn signals, hi lo beams, radio, =
brake lights, wipers, gauges, windows, overdrive, license plate light =
etc etc etc
#6
Did you stay with the steel wheels for any particular reason, do you =
have any others??
#7
Seems to sit high in the front, is the picture presenting an illusion or =
is it a little high?
#8
Does the re cored radiator keep the larger engine cool enough?
#9
Did you use the GT6 rear leaf spring or stay with the Spit one?
#10
How come the rear shocks upper mount is mounted to the body vs the =
original frame mount?? I haven=E2=80=99t seen that before on GT6=E2=80=99s=
 or converted Spit frames/chassis.
#11
What does it need, what doesn=E2=80=99t work, what is wrong and needs =
correction??
=20
This is a nice car please do not take all my questions as anything but =
wanting information, the questions are not to be critical of your car or =
efforts to build it. I am particular, I race Spits in vintage racing and =
have 4.5 of them (one broke an axle and flipped 4 times) that I already =
own. So yes I am serious and not just wasting your time, or like some =
others a picture collector.

Subject: Re: GT6 Convertible
=20
Mark,
=20
First some introductions. I am Daniel, Professor of Mechanical =
Engineering. =46rom 1993 to 2014 I was teaching at the Universidad de =
las Americas Puebla ( Mexico) since 2014 to present I am teaching at =
Beuth Hochschule f=C3=BCr Technik Berlin (Germany). Please feel free to =
google me to see that I am legitimate. My plan was to eventually retire =
in the US and I wanted to build the car I always desired and one that =
would last me the rest of my life. Cost was of no concern as I built it. =
 Now that I am getting close to retirement, reality sets in, I will stay =
in Germany. No place to store it there and no German drivers licence. =
Although I never had the intention of selling it, I will never have a =
use for it.
=20
Chapter 1, Birth of the GT6 Convertible project. Having 2 months free =
every summer, I would come back to the states and stay with family. =
During this time I would keep myself busy working on the my British car =
projects.  It took me at least 10 summers to get my GT6 Convertible =
finished. Between summers, it was safely packed away in my father's =
garage.
=20
I think it was in 2003 that I spotted this Green Spitfire on ebay. The =
person selling it had won it in a storage unit auction in California. =
The Spitfire had been there at least 10 years protected from the =
elements and completely rust and accident free. I bought it and had it =
shipped to Kansas City where I tried to get it going. The 1500 engine =
had spun the thrust washer and damaged the bearing cap so I decided not =
to mess with this engine and build my dream car the GT6 convertible.
=20
Chapter 2. Doner GT6. Again on ebay I bought a  72 GT6 that had rust =
issues. I kept the engine, took the transmission with me to Mexico for a =
GT6 I had back there, removed the GT6 suspension, and cut out of the =
frame the mounting brackets for the Rotoflex IRS, kept the window vents =
and cut out the complete bonnet panel including the power bump. =20
=20
The IRS mounting brackets were welded onto the Spitfire frame, new =
bushings and bearings were installed.   I was able to locate some of the =
last Metallic brand coupling which are much better than the reproduction =
units. The GT6 front suspension towers were mounted on the Spitfire =
frame, lower trunions, ball joints, tie rod end, poly bushings,new =
bearings, rack gator boots replaced, koni shocks completed the =
suspension.=20
=20
Chapter 3. 2.5L Engine. The engine was bored out 0.020, with TR6 =
pistons. I bought a TR6 crankshaft, it was ground -0.020, rods had new =
end bushings, new oil pump, crankshaft reground to std. profile,new set =
of lifters,  head reworked- new unleaded exhaust seats and valves, new =
unleaded valve guides, new timing chain and sprockets, new rocker arms =
and shaft, new water pump, fuel pump, and alternator. Modern High torque =
starter.
=20
Front pulley machined with teeth for timing sensor, mag pickup mounted =
on timing cover. Distributor removed and replaced with Megajolt system. =
The GT6 oil pan was reused after heating the crankshaft interference =
area and peening it out a bit - the engine sits in the correct GT6 =
position.
=20
Radiator reconstructed to heavy duty specs ( 3 row core )
=20
New GT6 stainless steel exhaust system, I had to cut 2 corners off the =
muffler to make it fit under the later style frame
=20
Chapter 4. Custom Heavy Duty Transmission.  The standard GT6 =
transmission is a weak point so I had a custom heavy duty J type =
overdrive built by Canley Classics of England, It is built with Triumph =
Dolomite internals. I had two made and shipped to the states ( I sold =
the unused unit last year alone for $1800 taking a loss on the =
transportation and Broker fees ). Feel free to write Dave at Canley if =
you have any questions about the setup.
New clutch, through out bearing, rebuilt hydraulics with silicone =
liquid.
=20
Chapter 5. Body. The body was stripped down to bare metal ( this was =
still the original paint ) no rust nor damage found. Top panel was cut =
out of the Spitfire, complete GT6 top panel with power bump was welded =
at the factory joints onto the rust free Spitfire lower section. =
Original factory fit tolerances are maintained. Repainted to the =
original Java Green color. Gas struts were added for opening the bonnet- =
this is a great improvement.
=20
GT6 vent windows, window glass, operating mechanism placed in the =
Spitfire doors. New window U channel felts, inner and outer window =
seals.New door seals. Door handles were originally black, replaced with =
new chrome units.=20
=20
New rubber surround for vent windows. New rubber side markers surrounds. =
New windshield and rubber
=20
Re-chromed front and rear bumpers.
=20
New tail light assemblies ( chrome and lenses ), New front turn light =
assemblies.
=20
Chapter 6, Interior. I ordered in some Connely Leather hides from =
England, bought new seat foams, molded carpet, Mohair top ( a type of =
fabric not plastic ). Hides were used to recover the seats, Parking =
brake console,  and to cover the door panels. Door panels were fashioned =
after a TR4 style with map pockets. These were mounted on thin PVC =
panels, not the cardboard that warps when wet. Dash board was left in =
original conditions with the factory racing plates intact.
=20
New glove boxes, new visors,=20
=20
Chapter 7. Brakes. I ordered a vented conversion kit from Canley =
Classics, this included the disks, rebuilt calipers with widening =
spacers included, plus the Green Stuff pads.
All brake lines were renewed. Master cylinder was re-sleeved, silicon =
brake fluid used. Rear brakes standard GT6, rebuilt cylinders, new brake =
shoes. Braided stainless steel brake hoses were installed.
=20
End note: I got a clear California title in 2004 which is the current =
status. I never got licence plates for it so it has only been driven =
around my father's community where I can get away with it. Bottom line, =
I have probably driven it 200 miles since I got it finished 5 summers =
ago. You can be assured you will not find a better example of a GT6 =
Convertible out there. Also if you are interested, I will through in my =
Triumph spares, Spitfire intake/exhaust manifolds, carburetor, window =
glass, spare door, door hardware, set of rear rubber bumper overrides, =
spitfire front suspension, lot of smaller parts.
=20
Regards,
=20
Dan
=20
Dan,
=20
Is yours the Green one??
If so I need more detailed pics, you look to have done a really good =
job, but pics even LOTS of them are deceiving. No slam on you or the car =
but your opinion of perfect and mine and or anyone else=E2=80=99s is =
always different. I say in a pic you sent me you have a hardtop, the ad =
didn=E2=80=99t mention it is it included? Dash for example looks to be =
new wood but I can=E2=80=99t really see the quality of it etc.
=20
I am still interested, although KS is a LONG way away!! I mean I want it =
but too much is unknown about it.
=20
I sent you a message last night about the 2.5L engine and having to =
raise the ride height of the car to keep enough oil pan clearance, did =
you get it.  I was also wanting to know if you used a Spit frame and =
then welded the GT6 rear suspension mounts and stuff to the Spit frame. =
As far as the front suspension did you use GT6 bolt on frame spring =
uprights/towers and GT6 complete spindles and such or Spit stuff?? Are =
the rear brakes GT6 drums or Spit drums??
=20
Send me a novel about it and any and all pics you got during the resto =
and after it is completed. I need more intel.
