>Wow, I finally sold the last car I had to work on to get around and now I
have a car waiting that I want to work on. What a difference of attitude!
>1st.
On my Herald, the two brackets that keep the hood from falling forward are
fine when they are extended. But, when folded they (right and left) are
both rubbing on the second course of the coil springs. The car is not
derivable yet but this looks to be a problem. Are they supposed to be on
the outside of the wheel wells? I do not see any other holes which they may
have been previously fit.
They should be mounted to the inside(engine side) of the wheel wells. You
can take the spring off, and refit it, to see how it fits best.
>2nd.
Are most of the steering parts, drive shaft u-joints, rear end and axils
available as early Spitfire parts?
YES YES YES! Mostly from England. Use Canley or Fitchetts, as they have the
best prices.
