In a word yes. So it is not just in the UK that the
GT6 over-riders are being sold as Spitfire ones.
Someone really has made a big mistake in identifying
the part for remanufacture! Especially as there were
only 15818 GT6 Mk1's ever made and 83162 Spitfire
Mk1+2's made.

If he drills the front hinges higher, and gets some
GT6 cranked bumper irons, then they will fit properly.
Has anyone told the manufacturers/suppliers in the US?
