First off I would like to thank all of the responses I got about how to go
about installing my hard top. At this rate it should be installed by the
weekend.
This is my first Spitfire and I am a little unsure about go about
fixing/adjusting minor problems.
1/ In North America what can be used for the Girling oil in the hydraulic
clutch? I have been told DOT 3 brake fluid but I want to make sure.
2/ The hood/bonnet latch pops open on the driver side after about 30 minutes of
driving, Is there a way to adjust?
3/ When changing gears I sometimes get gear mashing/grind, it is almost like
the syncro is not there :-(. Everything else seems okay, should I be REALLY
worried and stop driving? Is this normal? Is there a small adjustment to be
checked/made?
4/ I plan on a strip down restore and I would like opinions about sandblasting
vs. acid dipping? I have two friends and one dipped and the other blasted.
They both swear they did it right. Are there other opinions?
Thanks in advance
