 Hello - My 1978 Spitfire is in the final stages of reconstruction and I am
missing one part - it is one of the 2 warning light lens, black rectangle with
red lettering, 3 holes, one large in the center and 2 small on each side.
They go in the center section of the dash.  I have one that says "Brake"  If I
remember correctly, the other one says "Seat Belts"  Is that correct?  If so,
does anyone have an idea where I can get a replacement?

Hi Everyone,

I have a small gas leak around the gas tank sending unit.  The seal is not very old.  Should I have put some kind of sealant on it to help prevent leaks?



Thanks,

You can purchase a fuel resistant ring seal from Victoria British. Part
number 10-062.  $.95 each.

Just make sure that the tank opening, sender mounting plate, or
locking tabs are not dinged or bent, preventing the gasket from
sealing properly.

 Hello - I need just one more item to complete my 10 month 1978 Spitfire
restoration.  Does any one out there have a fuse box cover for a 78 Spitfire
they would be willing to sell for a reasonable amount? The Catalogs want $17
plus shipping.
