Just fit a new one Jeff.
It might cost you as much in parts to repair

No, but now I know how to ski.
Everytime I walk in a puddle my leg fills up with water.
It will stop you walking on water...

Locking wheel nuts are a total pita and a waste of time, if a scrote wants your wheels he will have them.

A pal has one of these kits on his Cortina and is really good. Not sure if they do a full kit for a Spitfire? But i'm sure it could be adapted.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Remote-Brake-Booster-Servo-2-3-Ratio-LR17792-for-Ford-Capri-Anglia-Cortina-MG/163540981685?epid=16025208929&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item2613cd57b5:g:wd4AAOSwtSRdEEKc&amdata=enc%3AAQAFAAACgBaobrjLl8XobRIiIML1V4Imu%2Fn%2BzU5L90Z278x5ickkfOCvCjTOBWK8pwriaolq5tNJv%2FZVzA1hAFmaqIP4LbUGHaARib8lN9eGDp0kzgDpRNiPzfzKgZPegH9bPehHmlB8XhAuGXqO1ZQTEI6Od4TbpsokQ8ghq7%2BnAgz5%2BsGOOwaOANILmV9ys6BRa7HNMwWSIdZNatRSlnxKXqQmfklcNCWmA1L7vy7FoUW5VVlTp613u%2ByDQFTq49qhUf1M%2B0ddbOXucj4YjG%2FOy09l6pPXaCCQKhvNAJ1EejtFNv0vCW4IuKKne%2FZjyR2lwVec7QKWoxfU8wO01q5K2770zc3NUL2X2zX7TzSKjoEK%2BIzZov33jN2EdFuJsixtVm26Zvz4H8RBzu3XS%2BX7xJ6glAj9DeejNGX5puBP5B58JtQNqZpS%2BcyqMHUDZCpgra665OCp6sBtFK3YrB%2F75%2Bk0Wvy6uTIFN1H0loWL19hXHg1lnn2ycQVUHpNlr6PT35EQev6NMwH6YZntPodBHJIPBox9ue9qJ2XOZJaVU26zo1SLFHY4k7FG6FWboEAvNxS3WmrIWNGQTgsVYTwV9H%2BgUfBErNDDon6P%2BvBtS1di4Ozbqz7QWDMa0Nsov043THi2spBH5pFZlTJZNOvB9I028vChVtyFlhgbpWodiR7oIa5Eaqsum7HW%2FOCPo5O2jBYLta0T%2FWNh%2BoCxiTT4r3gRkgamV9jkbNzEi16iO23mI2BddWyf1ILEYMGhpiKuOHBYtw4u5t3zIQdswLfIjVeb9YqLjpN3flCjhI6UhhOnMDBgGR9Wa4rXAX6PeIR8nUC6qeXzr5FMGgyO2wtMkcsqj%2B4%3D|cksum%3A16354098168570afbbc491174cb6978f21a36399bbae|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A2334524

Hi Adrian, very nice looking car. Here's hoping for an end to lockdown and a nice summer
Tony.

If you could get it out, i guess it hadn't bottomed out. Probably rubbish steel, i would swap all for the old ones.
Tony.
-
It should be ok providing it's not touching anything, as it wont move at all.
Tony.
-
Can you not move it further down?
Tony.

I notice alloy wheel studs Roger, make sure they haven't bottomed out? That might explain it. You can use the old ones Roger.
Tony.

You should be able change it on the car Roger, they are only splined into the hub. Knock the remaining bit in with a drift and pull the new one through using new nut with spacing washers.

Not explosions or anything of that nature, but when I was about 9 or 10 our house backed on to a large field. (Now a housing estate - another story)
In said field was an oil drum which me and my mate spent a happy day standing on and rolling it around the field.
Got in that night and my dad says, don’t fall off it and you could cut yourself and that will mean a trip to the hospital.
Next day what did I do? Yes. Fall off it and cut my leg. Trip to the hospital and ended up with a tetanus jab and butterfly stitches. Which turned out to be a waste of time as they broke and now I have an inch long scar about 1/4” wide just north of my knee.The dreaded oil drum, i had forgotten about that. As early teens four of were doing the same one bonfire night when said oil drum rolled onto the remains of a very large bonfire. We tried to get it off with sticks ect, When we herd "dong" and dent popped out.... One of us shouted run so we did. Next minute massive explosion which knocked us all flat and we saw the 45gln drum heading skywards at an angle. We were up and running within seconds and a few minutes later increased our pace as we heard sirens......We were scared stiff for a couple of weeks, but despite looking at the local papers we never found out where the drum had landed or if it had damaged anything. We never went near an oil drum again god knows what had been in it as it was empty when we found it.

Well done Roger, no more struggling for you

I'm touching up one or two scratches etc. Cellulose paint left over from original respray so colour match is good.
I'm using a small 'touch up' spray gun. Anyone know the knack of feathering in the new paint area. If I mask it up I get a hard proud edge up against the masking tape. If I just try to blend in I get visible over spray.
Don't Use masking tape at all Peter unless against a rubber. Rub the whole area down beyond the scratch with 600 w/dry then spray. Let the paint go hard for a couple of days the use Farecla G3 with a polisher and you will find it will blend in perfectly. Try on the inside of the boot lid and you will see.

It will do the job as Colin say's Jeff, i just went for the 25D as it was the same as yours. You ended up ordering the 45 anyway
Rebuild the old one at your leisure Jeff when you get bored 
I know others that have used the seller and have had no problems, but as you say it's cheap...
