As much as I think it would be a bad idea from a perfectionist viewpoint...Put the short spring on the passenger side, helping to balance out the usual solo operation of a spitfire (not enough HP fo

The spitfire competition manual suggests that you de-arch the rear spring to one inch in height when the spring is on the workbench, measuring from the bench to the base of the mounting block. This

Carter, thanks for the tip. This defect is something that I considered and think it is something I managed to avoid by initially using bolts that were too long, running them down gently and then cutt

That would be exactly of which I speak. I like the idea of the teflon strips, unfortunately I have none lying about currently. So far lithium grease is doing the trick, but teflon sure sounds much m

You are correct in assuming I was talking about a 1500. I am uncertain about the exact height the Mk1 should be. Hopefully someone is out there with a Mk1 would be more able to help. I guess the bes

I think the debate about the location of the fuel pump becomes somewhat irrelevant when we consider the volume of fuel the spit engine actually consumes compared to what an average electric fuel pump

The portion of the second leaf that needs to be cut is indeed that portion that loops around. You can envision where this interference would occur if you look at the spring and think about compressi

Mike, It is even better that way. Anyone who has them will most likely tell you that SS is no material to make headers out of. It is not a matter of "will they crack" but rather "when will they crack

The front shocks on the spit should be the same on both sides. That is, unless you have different suspensions on either side of the car, which I will assume you do not at this time, because that woul

I think that a properly equiped spit should be able to do much more than that old .89 if on good tires, shocks, and springs. I'll will finally be able to get a real measurement come this spring, sinc
