Roymilburn92_3186 Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Hi I am new to this group and am after a bit of help. I have recently aquired a Mk1 Spitfire which has had the hood frame repaired at some time in the past. I think the legs have been replaced with some tubing but left slightly too long. When I lock the legs down in their low position it is too high. It is a real struggle to get the hood on and when it is, it is fully tensioned without having to release the sprung catches on the frame legs. Does anybody have a Mk1 or Mk2 Spitfire and could possibly measure from the peg locating slot to the base of the leg for me? I think I need to chop a bit off the legs that have been welded on and need to check what length they should really be. Many thanks Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
