Velocita Rosso Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 The most awkward /painful thing to attach/reattach on a Spitfire MK3?......the driver side windscreen washer tube to spray nozzle in the scuttle.....and the two bolts/screws fixing the GRP tunnel cover to the scuttle ,just above the bell housing. Bent spine scraped knuckles and neck ache. Today`s task....to get all three , as the washer hose is dangling loose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the light moving and shining directly at me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Replacing the reversing light switch on the TR7. It unscrews easily, but it requires two hands to align and turn it blind for reinsertion. Unfortunately the opening in the transmission tunnel is only wide enough for one hand at a time ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now replace parcel shelf .....tomorrow!! Parcel shelf back in Tip. Because you have difficulty in aligning the two hole in the mill board with the two clips attached to the scuttle interior ( as its black and dark under there) stick two small white s/a labels on the two clips then a red marker dot on the label, you can then see through the millboard where the red dot is, then screw the self tapper through the millboard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
