Greetings, fellow listers,

 

 

I have several questions tonight, so without further delay...

 

To those of you who have made a Spitfire carb heat shield from an air bake
cookie sheet, did you put any insulation between the 2 sheets of aluminum?

 

For you GT6 experts, should a '72 MkIII have some type of carb heat shield
similar to the Spitfire?

 

I'm also looking for both the Haynes & Bentley manuals for my son to use
with his afore mentioned GT6.  If you have one or both that you'd like to
unload, please contact me off list.

 

The starter on Lazarus, the '74 Spitfire spins very well, but won't always
engage the flywheel.  Sometimes a good smack with a soft face hammer will
make it work for a while.  Can the drive be rebuilt, or is it time to buy a
new starter?   

 

Does anyone have any decent slats for the "factory" 6 slat stainless (?)
luggage rack?  Someone decided to use mine as a push handle and snapped all
of them off.  Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks to all for your assistance.
