  1. I don't know but I took mine in and said "I would like this 10% softer and 14mm shorter between the center of the vertical link eyes" ... so maybe if you simply took you old spring in and tell them what it's doing now and what you want it to do in the future?? I've no idea whether they can work with that but they showed huge knowledge and expertise when I went there ...
  2. Spent more than 1/2 the day pressing out & trying to fit new bushings into the diff 🙈🙈 finally got the diff in, prop & driveshafts bolted up, rear hubs in & brake reconnected … think I’m getting too old for this mullarkey - I’m cream crackered !!!!
  3. Jones’s Springs will make you a custom spec one for the price of a standard one from most of the main suppliers…
  4. Lol we make a pair - good luck with it, see you at the track !!
  5. I bought it in 1991 !!! Talk about value !!! Brilliant thing …
  6. Well this is my car right now 🙈 I’ve got the diff and various shafts ready to go back in… Then I need to sort the brakes… And a bunch of other stuff I’ve not been able to get to !!!! can’t wait though 😉😉😉
  7. I'm in, hoping Chris will join me & have a go in Ziggi too...
  8. Hopefully that's worked, I'm not so good with the technology...

  10. Kev sent it out via email on Sunday, I will try and upload it as a pdf
  11. Looks like I’m in with the other spitfires too 👍🏻 have had hellish time fitting LSD … had to buy a later diff, new crown wheel & pinion set, change the flanges on both driveshafts and the propshaft (kinda frustrating as they were all reconditioned and balanced over the winter) even then, today, I had to drive the lsd to Coventry for additional machining as it touched inside the casing 🙈🙈🙈 so currently I have absolutely no mechanicals fitted in the car behind the gearbox…
