I see it's fitted with safety side impact string

F/glass doors with perspex windows would be light.

What ever you paint it. But originally it was black

Maybe I need to connect it to 10 v supply as the other gauges

I thought the stat opens at 85C so would that not mean the oil should be operating around that temperature. I use the classic oil from Halfords.

That's made my mind up thanks

Just fitted a Oil temp gauge which takes it's reading from the sump plug. Been for a blast up the Aroad and the oil shows hot above normal and just below red line. I did bench test the gauge and sender before fiitting and 80C was normal mark. I have a 13 row oil cooler which I'm going to fit and wondered if it's worth fitting a thermostat. I was thinking of the one above made by Mocol.

Who's got what to do for 2012?
Dannyb replied to Radders's topic in Round Britain Reliability Run (RBRR)
So far I have added headlight relays and osram nightbreaker bulbs. I have also fitted two 100W driving lamps behind the grill. I have new tyres fitted all round as my others were 9 years old. I will be fitting an oil cooler soon. Will do a complete service around Aug/Sept time. -

The trim on my Spit 1500 is stainless steel. When I restored it I replaced the windscreen and rubber and got the trim off ebay. Think it may have been advertised at GT6 trim. I don't think these tools would work on stainless trim. I remember spending about two days fitting it with a pointed tool I made up.

Everything Pete says. Also check the clevis pin for play at the master cylinder end. Just the smallest bit of wear will give you a lot less peddle movement. I did have the same problem when I changed mine and it was down to the slave not pushed forward enough. In fact I elongated the cutout on the side of the slave to give it a little pit more movement forward.

It's all up to the individual. There is not right or wrong answer. I have had Spitfires with and without. I prefer with.
