  1. Awesome stuff. I'm trying to avoid the temptation to do this to my car... but sooner or later I'm going to have to address the bodywork.
  2. My Spitfire 1500 sits like this: standard shocks all round stiffened shorter front springs (p/n TT4301) + 8mm spacers (just springs was too low) new rear spring - wouldn't sit right, so lowering block (3/4" IIRC) to get it where it needed to be
  3. The door skin has made it from Maidstone to Potton, Beds. If anyone can get it any further North let me know!
  4. Wow, that chain/tensioner really at the limit!
  5. Hi Richard, yes that one is still available. Can be collected from Halifax or Filey in Yorkshire - or as above, posted at cost.
  6. It tentatively looks like we have pick-up this weekend from Maidstone and transport as far as Bedfordshire, if that works out I'll probably be back begging for help with the next stage.
  7. Sorry for the delayed reply! As above I use: grc180 radiator cap 13lbs later models
  8. Would anybody be able to pick up a Dolomite front door skin from Maidstone for me and get it a bit further North? No rush, drop me a PM/message if you can help me out.
  9. Did it come as a full kit? Or just the rolling shell? Ain't nothing you can't sort dude!
  10. Get a wix or similar thread adapter, then you'll have plenty of decent filters to choose from. (wix 24037 I think)
  11. Oooh might come and see the finishers! Flamborough Head is only 6.9 miles from here!
  12. Unless the head needs a skim I wouldn't bother for that amount of difference. I measured the chamber volume on my head (it had some chamber work as well as porting/flowing) and took mine up to 10.2:1 which was as far as I wanted to go with that engine.
  13. Because the ring is usually larger than a standard spanner they often won't fit... but when they do (especially, as you say, in a tight spot) they are a godsend! For stuff like removing the rad from the Spitfire I just use a plain ring and a ratchet ring and crack on - lighter and quicker than a ratchet handle+socket in my opinion.
