While we're on this subject, me and a friend once moved a Spitfire chassis,
whilst resting it on the hard top of his road going spitfire, this chassis had
the front suspension turrets fitted and was facing downwards so the turrets
were VERY close to the top of the bonnet, all it was held on with was a hand
either side of the hard top. ;-) Luckily we didn't go far with it. Also
carried another inverted Spit chassis in the back of a friends Short wheel Base
Landrover, it stuck up WAY above the cab, and also had the remains of the body
resting on the bottom of the chassis, very precarious!!! :-)
While I'm here, I have found a place advertising TR and SPit/GT6 high ratio
steering racks and pinions. ANyone interested I'll find out more details, but
I think they cost about 75 quid(You build the steering rack).
