what do you think about these bumpers.  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251501503383?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
its going to cost me about £500 to get mine re-chromed, these are stainless steel. and cheaper direct from there site

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

found this it may be of help, will try it today
thanks to tssc,

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

there are two wings on James paddock 909664 and 909664p whats the difference, other than the price.
Thanks

Hi, does anyone know the part number of the clips for the rear chrome trim which runs up the side of the rear screen.
thanks

Thanks for the info.

Hi, this looks nothing like the one that is on mine, is it a mod, all I need is the rubber which fits on the top,
Thanks

Hi, I can't find the part number or name for the buffer that goes on the top of the bonnet locating pin, can anyone please help.
Many Thanks

Was The UJ, although it showed continuity on the multy meter, it obviously was a good enough earth,
Many Thanks for your help.  

i have traced the fault to no earth at the center column, the earth strap at the bottom of the rack is there and ok, but it losses its earth where the column goes into the rack. earth the column and all is well. any ideas.
Thanks  

Hi yes your right, i fitted them over the diff, and the body would not sit properly, i then fitted them under the bulkhead and it was fine, i am now in the process of lining up. got the doors fitting nice but have to close the gap to the bonnet. the body has to go forward. my task for today.

Thank you

Hi, would the bonnet hinges and springs be car color or black
Thanks

its a minefield out there, great advice, many thanks.

Hi Thanks for all the info, so what i can see the best way is to lock the two spacers above the diff leave the rest loose, fit the doors and adjust as ness. with metal spacers.
