  1. It's a dream of mine to get a race licence and get involved in this! One day! I'll have to made do being behind the camera for now.
  2. Hi Sam, Welcome! That thing is gorgeous! Love the way it sits, and that little boot spoiler! Simon
  3. Pete - the gap between the head and the clip on the cable casing. Thanks for the advice, I'll twist and push and see how I get on!
  4. I didn't know where to put this, hope "General" is ok! Hey guys, While refitting the dials after changing my dash the speedo drive extended out from it's plastic casing, I managed to get it back in a little way but there's still a gap, see picture attached. It now doesn't seem to want to push back into the casing any further, has anyone come across this before? I'm hoping the answer isn't "get a new cable" because it looks like a right arse of a job! Thanks all, Simon
  5. Interested! My September Sundays are looking lovely and empty at the moment, for once! I wasn't happy I couldn't come to the last one. Simon
  6. Thanks guys, looks like I'll be taking a drill to the bumper once I gather the courage! The bumper isn't exactly concours condition anyway so no big loss if I screw it up! Simon
  7. Hi all, I managed to pick up a rear number plate lamp at a car boot sale for pennies the other day, one of these: https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID005822 I prefer these over the two little bobble lights that are currently on my Spitfire, however the two stalks that come off the bottom of the lamp that fit into the bumper aren't wide enough apart to fit the holes where the current lights are. Have I picked up a rear lamp for another model, or do I need to get my drill out? (gulp!) Thanks, Simon
  8. Hi Balaks, I found mine on Facebook Marketplace, not the first place I thought of looking, I came across it by chance while bored one afternoon! Happy hunting, I find it weirdly enjoyable! Simon
  9. Always good to hear of good service these days, glad you got it sorted!
  10. I've bought a nice shiny rocker cover to replace my rather sorry looking one, I purchased the neoprene gasket (from the club shop) - would you recommend using a sealant with this gasket? If so which one? Sealants and lubricants and other such fluids not really my speciality. Thanks in advance! SImon
  11. Doug, I've found a good scroll through the results eventually turn up what you're looking for, it's actually quite good if you figure out the right words to put in! Simon
  12. Welcome! I recommend getting familiar with the forum search, most of the things I've come across on my Spitfire have already been asked and answered in detail! Simon.
  13. Hi all, is there a TSSC presence at this month's Sunday Scramble at Bicester Heritage? I notice we're mentioned on the info page for the event but I haven't seen anything mentioned on the TSSC website or in this here forum, about to buy my first pre-1990 ticket :-) Anyone going? Ta, Simon
  14. I do enjoy looking at all the stuff I don't really need, but really want! I was also quite happy to be at the top of the list of new members in the Courier! :-D Simon
