Luggage Rack
My 76 Spitfire has been re-painted by the PO and in the process, the
luggage rack was removed. It was not on the car but holes still exist in
the trunk lid (boot) and I'd like to match the holes to a luggage rack.
There are two holes in four corners. From the top most hole to the
bottom hole is 19 inches and from side to side its 36 5/8 on the top and
36 1/2 on the bottom (problably there was 1/8 in play?). Each pair of
holes is 1 3/4 inches apart. I'd appreciate any help in locating a
replacement unit without having to drill new holes. I have looked in
TRF, Vicky Brit, and Moss catalogs without success.

Badging
Since I received the car without any badging, I'm not sure of the exact
positioning of the Triumph Spitfire 1500 and the Spitfire 1500 decals. I
know that one goes on the front drivers side of the hood (bonnet) and
that the other goes on the rear. Can any one provide dimensions for the
original locations?
