Just on the chance someone here may have a lead.

 

My friend had a woman talking on her cell phone in an SUV clobber him in his
beautiful flat-floor E-type.

Apparently there are no new production bonnets available at the moment in
the UK (they are apparently still making them these days).

Any help locating a nice one or new one will be appreciated!

He's on Long Island, NY

Subject: [Spits] Heater Core
Message-ID: <4CD9F159.6010508@rmi.net>

Hi Everyone,

I just found out that the heater core on my Spitfire is leaking.  The 
new ones seem to be a bit pricey even though it appears the price 
includes the housing, at the places it is available.

Has anyone had the core fixed at a radiator shop?  Are all of the heater 
cores interchangeable between Spits and GT6s or just some years?

I have a used heater box from a GT6 (Mark 1 I think) , but I don't know 
what kind of shape the core is in.

Thanks,
Roger Elliott

Many of the old timers will remember Tom O'Malley who was very active on the
British Car and Spitfire lists until 2003. His Spitfire wiring diagrams are
listed on the Spitfire & GT6 Magazine web site. Tom had a wonderful sense of
humor and was an inspiration to other enthusiasts. I had the good fortune to
meet him around ten years ago after he invited me to stop by his house in
Southbridge, MA on the way to taking my daughter to college in Boston. I was
amazed at the quality of work, including welding and painting, he had done on
his Spitfire in a Harbor Freight portable garage! I only met Tom once, but he
was definitely one of the good guys and one of those people who seemed like a
life-long friend when you met him.

I am very sad to say that I just learned that Tom passed away after an illness
on March 9, 2008. His obituary can be found at
http://www.sansoucyfuneral.com/sitemaker/sites/Sansou1/obit.cgi?user=832_TOMa
lley102 . I do not believe this has been posted to the listserves before, but
I wanted all to know of his passing.
