i have it sorted, the main problem was movement it the top and bottom clamps, i replaced the column bushes and put rubber in the main clamps. lowered the tyre pressure to 24psi from 30psi. it now drives beautifully, many thanks for all your help your advice cured it
-
Thanks for all the tips, I have ordered new column bushes and I will do the adjustments mentioned, as I say all the suspension front and rear are new. the car drives and rides great it's just this shake when you go over a rough road the steering wheel vibrates and rattles
-
Thanks, Rubber rack Mounts, will check Tyre pressures had new ones fitted so haven't checked. wheel alignment done, its the original universal column joint. will look into that, and get back not adjustable shocks, as you say its fine on smooth roads but unfortunately I live in Redditch. And like most towns the roads are abysmal

I now have my spit on the road and is brilliant, the only fault is when you go over a rough road the steering wheel shakes vibrating though the Column, all the suspension and rack mountains are new and the is no play in the column as I can detect. is this standard or is there a cure.

Many Thanks that's solved that problem

I was hoping to get away with the old hood, which is black, but the condition is poor, now I have changed the colour of the car from brown to red, the interior is beige,with black carpets, shell i stay with the black hood or go for a beige one. what do you think

Hi, is there a tool for fitting the chrome strip on a spit windscreen, or just a knack, which i don't seem to have. Thanks

Hi No red,

Well i have bit the bullet and got hold of a 72 spitfire for restoration, bought blind, it was a head in hands job when first seen. but after examination its not that bad, standing 20 years carbs jets blocked and seized, will need replacing, but cleaned out to get started, sounds fine but will know more when stripped, two owners from new, i think one was a vicar its very holey

Thanks, are the p ones any good or is it worth paying the extra
