[Any good options to insure my 18 year old on my Spitfire?]

i would also appreciate input.  Although  I recall a spit was always out of my insurance league when I was under 21. especially the 1500

[Vitesse hardtop and tonneau instead of hood?]

i use the hard top in winter, takes a few minutes to release using butterfly nuts. 

[Dash Cam]

Dash cams record in three minute snips. A go pro would be a better bet. You can get cheap ones of amazon that do the job

[Spitfire 1500 4 branch manifold not fitting]

Just looked back at this . Yes mine was from paddocks, and did fit after the mating surfaces were very carefully cleaned a few faces filed and a new gasket ! 

[So what is it???]

this ????

[So what is it???]

well whats the other piece for that  he has for sale ? 

[work space suggestions?]

Use social Media. For example on facebook  we have  Shropshire farmers and small holders Shrewsbury Buy and sell etc, all work really well. We have let out a couple of stables for storage this way.

[rasping / grating Noise after rebuild]

I chased similar for years. It was the output bearing on diff.

[Fumes]

Constant battle. Not helped by leaky gearboxes dripping on exhausts ! Again I would suggest the gearbox cover is main culprit.

[Cleaning off the grunge & grime]

Industrial pressure washer helps. Also rotary wire brush.

[Speedometer reading whilst stationary !]

sounds like you have the Tacho drive in the back of it.

[Recommended - "Bryan & Son Radiators", Tunbridge Wells, Kent]

whats the pricing ?

[Horn sounds when turning]

i had it on a mountney. slacken the column and give a larger gap. job done

[What are these for?]

If you buy new check they are the same. It's a common part on 60 s classics and they do vary.

[rear wheelarch measurement]

I can check mine tomorrow.  

[herald reads hot....]

Update.   The 72 degree behaves well On my original guage, it sits in the middle. On a borrowed guage, it sits below( where expected)  I plan to get a new guage ( unless I can cheaply calibrate mine ) and then put the correct thermostat in. 

[Should I buy a hardtop for my Triumph Spitfire or not]

when i had a spit, the hardtop was great. Its like two different cars.  Also held it together !   Buy one .

[rear wheelarch measurement]

which car?

[The on-line area directory]

phew.   shropshire is in the clear !

[sub standard parts again !]

The Radiators looking a bit worn after 30 years........ May get it refurbed. 

[Wing or Door Mirrors? MK2 2000]

try Stag Mirrors. look great on my Bond GT4S

[sub standard parts again !]

i will be after some new fronts soon. The last ones only lasted 31 years. obviously of dubious quality. dont want to waste much money , as they would have been cheapos in 1984 as the car was only worth about £100 ! 

[Anything known about - 1967 Triumph Herald "VAR 458 E"]

If it's at a dealer they would wait till sold them put 12 months on.

[13/60 getting hot]

An overdrive gearbox is your friend. They can run a bit hot over 65 as its high revs, the oil thins too so if using motorways an oil cooler could be considered. TBH as long as its not running too hot I wouldnt stress.
