I'll bite. What makes the '79 different from any other Spitfire? It's a
bit tricky the first time one does this -- getting the shoes and springs
together and getting the hand position right, and one has to make sure the
springs are correctly oriented and the hub is in the right spot, but it's
pretty simple once one is used to it.
