here is a photo of the front crossmember ... Red is for the small lights in the valance, the green/red and green/white is for the blinkers .. So that is right , it's just at the bonnet the red wire that i don't need to use i guess.. :)

my old headlights where non H4 also with only 1 bulb ( main and hi beam) if it put the headlight switch on(1) the red is 12v, if i put the the headlight switch on (2) then i've got 12v on the bleu and red and when i operate the steering column switch then i've got 12v on the blue and white.. but if i put the switch in 1 then normally must there be light in the small lights in the valance .. right ?

2528 wrote:Now I have the Spitfire back together I have a slight problem getting the door to hang properly. Some of the threads in the bolt plates inside the A post have stripped so the hinges have only a 2 bolts securing them instead of 3, this is the single one furthest from the door. Its been like this for years but having replaced the floor and sills I want to get the alignment right now. So any tips on how to correct this? I have heard that you can drill and retap for a larger bolt, possibly M8, or what about using a helicoil repair? Hi One of my hinge bolt's are retaped to M10 >:( M8 is also possible ;) Kind regards Wim

So i fitted the new one yesterday :P But discoverd something , the new switch was 'NO' (normal open) but my old one was 'NC' normal closed :o So i remeber that there was a relais in between the wiring loom in the boot .. So the old switch , was operating the relais ( with a NO and NC contact) and there was a 12v feed to the contact om the relais .. And the wire to the reverse light bulb was on the 'NC' side .. SOO.. when you where not in reverse the relais was operating and stands on 'NO' and when you put him in reverse the relais got no power anymore and then it became NC back .. and there was the reverse light wired on .. So , it worked but it was a good bodge ! ;D Kind regards Wim

932 wrote:Hi Wim, fitting the radiator is fairly easy, the total amount of coolant required according to the manual is 4.5 litres, at least 30% should be neat anti-freeze and the rest water, i usually put about 50% of each so as i top up throughout the year the mixture wont dilute too much :) best way to check the thermostat is look on the top bit and it should state a temperature it opens at, should be about 80 degrees, think mine is a 78 degree one and works fine. put it in pan of water on the stove with a thermometer in, when the thermometer says about 80 degrees you should see the thermostat opening up, if it dont open then its no use so get a new one. rich thanks ! I'm going to look at it when the car is back from his paint job ;) I hope the thermostat is in good condition but the cooling on my spit has been not serviced in 20years or so .. many parts are still original when i got it ! Sprayed ones over in red and some nice bodge's to find here and there ;D Wim
