[TR] a new clunking noise

[Jim Muller]

Just when I thought it was safe to put the wrenches away...

My Spitfire has a new sound.  When I turn a corner at anything more 
than walking speed I hear a clunk clunk clunk, maybe 3 to 5 clunks 
right behind me which sound like something bouncing across a metallic 
floor or swinging against a metallic wall.  Except there isn't 
anything to swing or bounce, nothing loose underneath nor under the 
spare tire.

I fully expect one or more of you to say it is something come loose 
in the gas tank.  So what would it likely be?  A filter perhaps?  Is 
it serious?

I don't relish the idea of pulling the tank, or even just pulling a 
cover off.

Tanks in advance,

Jim Muller
