Looks great, you are putting alot of effort in . I love the attention to detail.
-
Is this correct? Found a pic of it before I changed the shocks and wheel studs.
-
Interesting, been a few months since I fitted them. Will take a look tomorrow
-
Hi, they were hd springs from rimmers. And assembled as they had come off. Thought about lowering blocks, it may come to it. Theres always a good use of a sandbag though.
-
I have fitted new rear springs to both of my spitfires, they no longer sag but both stand too upright tucking in slightly. I can't see them when driving! Will they settle down with use? I did tighten up when everything on the ground under pressure.

Reminds me of the time the retort door opened mid cook and all the cans came out. The contents hit the ceiling, 10 metres up! Temperature high, volume/pressure change. Result dog food on the ceiling.
-
I did that and the keyway broke when it did come apart!

Is this like drawing a sword from a stone, who ever separate this hub and shaft shall be king of the road.
-
With the amount of effort being put in I would like to donate one of my spares, I think I only have long ones though!, no I might have one. First photo, 290mm. Second 310mm. Taken seal to uj holder. Two different shafts, hopefully a short one there

spitfire 1500 number plate effecting cooling
Mathew replied to Chris Bracey's topic in Cooling System
If the number plate is directly in front of grill yes. If attached to the bumper with the spoiler on no. -
Thank you, will see about getting some boots as the ball joint is fine👍.
-
Not happy about the ball joint, only been on the car 10 miles, it came with the car in a new box. So I don't know where it came from, luckily I have a spare to replace it .

Try some fresh ep90 gl4 spec oil. Look at the drained oil, are there any black flex's in it? Make sure electrical connections are good, is the relay holding? Just to get you started.
-
It gets interesting when you put a two meter bit of box section over the end, something's going to give 😱
-
I do like that, very neat and practical.
-
Strange I want an inca yellow one, but I have a modified carmine red one and a standard blue one so that will have to wait. When do you think your be painting, once thats done you get to the best bit of restoring, assembly.
-
As a last resort I had a forty ton press and a gas heat for a rear hub! It did come apart after a few taps but had the last laugh as the grove where the key sits broke.
-
Just read through and well done on keeping going, its always good when you get the main part of the welding complete. Look forward to it being painted, are you keeping it inca ?
