AlanT Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 Hello Experts! can anyone advise how I reattach the spoiler to my 1980 Spitfire? There is a gap in the grp quarter valences where the end screws should go! It was only held in the middle when I got the car (pre strip down) thanks Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 Canley's site shows a 'front valence inner' which seems to go behind the 'front valence outer'... I always remember the front valence corners as being one piece and the grille was simply screwed into them with a large penny washer. The GRP versions must be single skin only, so you'll have to fabricate some kind of bracket / spreader plate behind to take the screw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanT Posted September 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 Thanks Colin, thought that would be the answer but always worth checking I’ve not missed something obvious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaffer tape is only ever a temporary, messy solution. It dries out, things drop off and it leaves a concrete like mess behind....oh, ahh, you weren't being serious Pete!!!
