Yes very low. Can't remember who rebuilt the V8 FF version? He blogged it on the old CT site, very comprehensive rebuild and then I think he started on a Jenson FF.....

Ebay? I have seen templates for gloveboxes on the net years ago. Might be cheaper to buy a set from usual suspects.

I have the two rails + grab handle off a mk 3 spit; but in Copenhagen. 

Quoted from Horace-

I have a very late, very original,mk3 which came with original seats and runners.  I swapped these for 1500 seats as i wanted recliners for the RBRR (new runners needed).  To my surprise there were sets of holes already in the floor pans for both types of runners!  No drilling required.

Late mk 3 was prepared for the US marked - and GT6 (your car should also has holes in the heel board panel for the GT6 mk 2 suspension)

Thanks Michael, no problem - and don't ask how I know (re the sill measure)! 😄

@Michael - very close :-)

Just got my login fixed thanks to Keith.

Have you tried Vitesse Steve' page?

Make sure, its calibrated for 10 volt, and suited for the existing voltage stabilisator (that might be around 10V)

Jeps, to lift the valance brackets on the early spitfires.

This spring ... in Denmark...

Last one might have been electrical though, but the first one was fuel related.

Often a worn out bush in the column and to little distance between boss and top of column gives a short when you put force on the steering wheel. Its the side of the boss that touch the column.

German one:

Rob: They were on the Danish market too. Have seen them on some US import cars.

None left on any of mine, I just fitted the nuts without 🤔

Copper washer on the Fd 1300 engines too.

We have about the same limitations here in Denmark

Ps about 5-600 spitfires in dk

Always nice when a simple solution can solve a complicated (and annoying) problem 😎

I have a royal blue mk 3 from 1967, a conifer green mk 3 from 1968 and a red mk 3 from 1970.
So, just need a 1969

But my 2000 mk 1 estate is from 1969  

I have a box of 4 standard pistons - 213719 - used, but undamaged. Don't know if they could replace yours. Free to a good home for postage from Copenhagen/Denmark.

From a 1300 small crank engine.

I would buy new pistons and get the bores done to these though, but depends on what you can afford

Wow.
Looking at the parts I have in the shed I might be a wealthy man  

I'll take a look for what I have in the shed 😎

Quoted from JohnD

In fact I'd have to think for a very long time to find an engine where the manifold doesn't bolt to the head.

Jamie, you should be able to find one - otherwise do a search on ebay. It has an angle  of 90deg. and is a 5/8 bore size; has been used for lots of cars - but you might have to replace the fork with the one you have - see: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-C.....ibJTyH~g&vxp=mtr

...you should be able to find it cheaper though

And then: As a 'nos' - do replace seals before use!
