Re: [Spits] Spitfire lug nut size?
It's been point out to me (repeatedly, by the way!) that I had a typo in my response.

[Spits] Fwd: [Fot] HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Listers, Can someone possibly help Mark out?! Brad (off to VIR in an hour) -- Forwarded message -- From: Diesel Performance Parts Inc. - Info Date: Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 9:45 AM Subject: [Fot] HELP!!! To: f...@autox.team.net Morning FOTer's, As always posting because I need help, having owned a Spit and a TR6 back in the "day" I sold my Shelby race car and started racing a Spit, love it but I am sort of out of it as compared to the Ford parts and where to get what and what fits what and such. So back to my problem, going like a mad man with NDA shipments and such to get ready to reinstall my originally incorrectly made Summer Brothers axles and while doing that I was going to upgrade to GT6 rear drums. As you know the only way to get the backing plates changed is to ruin a bearing locking ring, maybe ruin a bearing and have to totally take out both axles, hubs etc etc. Anyway got all my parts in painted prepped and waiting on Summer Brothers to send my now hopefully correctly re done axles back NDA yesterday. Got'em in left the office and went home to put it all together and planned leave this AM for VIR and the VDCA race. All my buddies left Wed and I was to catch up. Well I get the 7/16" race wheel studs pressed in and spot welded in place and I am ready to drop on the 4 bolt flange with the axle seal followed by the brake backing plates and guess what, the bolt pattern on the backing plates I was sent is off by at least 1/2" ! Turns out they are Rotoflex backing plates and not the ones that match the Spitfire 4 bolt pattern. So I spend a couple of hours calling everyone I know (especially west coast places as I need them NDA today) and no one has/will take the time/or whatever) to see if they have any. So VIR and the VCDA is out. But I still need the right backing plates. So does anyone have any they would sell to me? They backing plates have a 2.0" center hole, the smaller Spit bolt pattern around 2 3/8" center to center measurement and are for the 8" x 1.5" shoe size. They have the same wheel cylinder as a Spit and also the same manual brake adjuster set up. By the way the GT6 parts car I have has 8" x 1.5" drum brakes if anyone needs them, they are "supposedly" rare??? Price can be REALLY right as I need to re coup all the NDA charges I spent on nothing now that VIR is out Thanks from Brakeless in Tennessee!! Hoping the "List" can help!

Re: [Spits] [TR] Spitfire brake switch
Andy Mace sent me the info of off the Spitfire website and I took that information and the info provided by other responders to three different parts stores (Napa, Autozone & O'Reilly's). Napa didn't have any of them that I listed saying they couldn't even order them. Same story with Autozone. I then went to O'Reilly's and they couldn't get the spitfire one but they had one (only one) instock for a Chevy Luv. It appears to be a direct bolt in replacement. I'll find out tonight. I found it odd that no one seemed to be able to order these switches. Even O'Reilly's said they couldn't order the Chevy Luv switch, they just happened to have one in stock Thanks everyone for the replies.

[Spits] Spitfire brake switch
While rebuilding the custom throttle pedal assembly on Susan's spitfire race car I inadvertently broke the brake switch. Unfortunately I don't have enough time to order a switch from any of the usual suppliers as the car is being loaded on the trailer Monday for the trip to VIR. Has anyone sourced a brake switch from a local auto parts supply such as Napa, Autozone, etc? If so which one? Thanks!

[Spits] Spitfire Mk2 / 3 seats
Before going the eBay route I thought I would offer them to the list first. I have a pair of seats from a Spitfire Mk2 or Mk3 that are very solid seats. They definitely need recovering but the springs look to be in very good shape and the frames are solid and include the catch mechanism at the lower rear of the seat. I also have a pair of Spitfire seat tracks that are in good condition. If interested please contact me off list.

[Spits] [TR] Weber tuning/jetting needed at VTR
Anyone know if any of the vendors or anyone else will be bringing a Weber jet kit to VTR? We are having trouble with the Weber in Susan's Spitfire (DGV 32/36) and think it's probably time for some new jets. (We're not looking for a freebie, just to see if someone will be there with the knowledge and the equipment.) Neither one of us is very familiar with the Weber, so on-site help would be great! Thanks, Brad ___ Spitfires mailing list Spitfires@autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/spitfires
Empty trailer traveling from Upstate NY to Arkansas
Hi everyone! We have lightened our load of one 1947 Simca Cinq and I will be making a run from central Arkansas up to Virginia and then probably on to the Albany, NY area to deliver it and some other stuff. I will have an empty flat-bed trailer and covered F-250 bed (6'x8' or something like that) on the way back, if anyone has anything they would like transported along the route. I can also bring stuff back as far as Dallas, since we do make it down there a good bit. This trip will probably take place in early to mid-June, but we're not sure yet. The return route can be just about anything that gets me from the Albany area to Arkansas. So if anyone has a vehicle or parts (or furniture, or lawn equipment, you get the picture...) they would like transported for a reasonable price, please let us know!

throttle linkage dimension needed (mk4 or 1500)
Been a long time since I've posted. I'm in the middle of converting Susan's new mk3 with a 1500 engine over to twin SUs (UK version). I'm replacing the existing throttle shaft assembly that crosses over from the driver side to the passenger side with one that is from a 1500 cable driven type. I need the location of the hole where the cable passes through the top of the firewall and connects to the throttle pedal. Once I have that hole located I can locate the holes needed for mounting the pedal assembly to the firewall itself. I'm on the digest so if you would respond directly to me I would appreciate it.

Trailer needs hauling
Hi all! We have just sold Brad's 12' trailer to a fellow in New York. We were wondering if there is anyone who wants to take it up there for him (Dallas to New York, or to a point along the route). If so, please let us know what you would want to do this, or if you could suggest a reasonable way for him to get the trailer. Another thought would be if anyone has a car needing to go to the eastern seaboard, it would be a good way to get the trailer and the car there at the same time. Thank you! Susan :) *** http://www.team.net/the-local*** Your messages not reaching the list?

printer
Hi hon! This lexmark printer isn't printing at all now. It went through the motions of printing a picture I sent it but all I got was a blank page. Is that the new ink in there or? Should I bring the Epson 500 from the shop for use here? That was a good printer. Also, Rhett has installed a super strong spam filter and I'm definitely losing emails. I've contacted him about it. So don't be surprised if some emails don't get through to you.
