Ok thanks guys will sit it in and see what it looks like. How about the floor pan carpets and the handbrake cover carpet? Any glue on them ?
-
Hi All, Im going to attempt to fit the gearbox tunnel carpet tonight. Is the carpet supposed to be glued down? What is the best way of attaching it? Any help much appreciated. Thanks Jamie :)

I went for old english white, looks a bit more creamy in person.

Race harnesses look good! Not sure how they would look on mk3 seats though ... Thanks Steve
-
Thanks for the feedback, the originals where rusted up and i threw them out along time ago. Steve, any chance of a photo showing your seatbelts? Cant decide which way to go.

Hi all, Can anyone please advise the best seatbelts to install into a mk3 spitfire? The originals i took out where britax static 3 point belts which had seen better days. Is it possible to retro fit inertia's ? Any help much appreciated Regards Jamie
-
Cheers hypoid , Exactly what I wanted to know :)
-
So if I order a new soft top I should order a mk3 one? Does it matter the frame on the 1970 mk3 is different?
-
Ah that explains it then. Mikey, which is the correct hood for a late mk3 which has rounded glass then ?
-
Interesting , my mk3 also a late one 1970, has the catches shown for the mkiv , there is also 2 holes on the chrome strip on top of the screen frame. Hope this helps?

Hi tictor, Interested in this as just getting round to this on my 70 mk3. What's the difference between a mk3 and IV hood frame ?
-
Thanks wim , ordered . Will see how it goes

Cheers Guys, Will go un-moulded as there is a considerable price difference. Wimpus which seller did you use? Jamie
-
Hi guys , What is the best type of carpet to get , moulded or unmoulded? Is there pros and cons of each I've heard the moulded can be quite thin ? Regards jamie

Cheers Jamie, Just managed to wire the thing up. Ive got to wait untill its on the road to test it now. Managed to find the gearbox part of the loom from a supplier called autosparks. all the colours matched up and just bolted the earth ring terminal to the nearest bolt on the gearbox.

Hey Molten, I fitted my replica mota lita style wheel and boss yesterday and took a chance with the brush sold by paddocks PNo 142534 i think its a 2.4" it works great. Hope that helps Regards Jamie
-
Ive just been looking into this a bit more and it seems im missing the gearbox loom 138322. The relay im using is the same as the horn relay which had too many pins resulting in some needing to be bridged. Is this necessary for the OD aswell?
-
Hi All, The time has come to wire up the D type overdrive on my mk3 spit, the switch is column mounted. So far I have mounted the OD relay next to the horn relay in the battery tray, I have also replaced the switch on the gearbox. I purchased the loom from paddocks shown below ( 147668 ), but not really sure where to start. Any advice or pictures from you guys would be greatly appreciated. :) Thanks Jamie
-
Thanks for the photo Rob, will screw mine the same way.
-
That would explain why clips are listed on Rimmers :-/ Would be great if someone could post a picture or confirm.

Hi Everyone, I finshed glueing on the B pillar vinyl supplied by Park Lane Classics last night and then loosely fitted the quarter trim panel on top. Can anyone please tell me what to do with the bit ive circled in green? Do you screw it to the bracket , or screw it through the cockpit trim board and sort of clamp it in place? Any advice much appreciated as always. Thanks :) Jamie
-
Cheers Guys, will ring graveyard later today.
-
Thanks for the advice guys, I found this on rimmers under tr4 parts, but its very expensive. http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID200270 Would it fit?
