yorkshire_spam Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I have two ARB, both supposedly from Spitfire 1500s. Sadly I can't tell/remember which one came off the Spitfire. Now I've come to refit I've noticed they are different! The shape is slightly different, and one is about 10mm shorter each end than the other. Which one should I use?

Nick B. Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Hi, To my memory, the ARB on spitfires only differed in thickness, not length. I guess the difference is down to productionmethods, and both will suit well. I would choose the nicest looking. Cheers Nick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martins Stag Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Nick you are correct I think there may be "variation" in repro ARB and assuming they are the same diameter, I would also consider which one fits the best too. The other alternative is to have a look at another Spitfire and see which one best matches it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
