The rear crossmember on our Spitfire frames have a hole (.5" approx) all the
way through in the center. At least, mine does, and the photos of a Mk1 in
John Thomason's book does, so I'm assuming they all do.
Does anyone know the intended purpose of this hole? Considering the hole goes

Every Spitfire I have owned (including the parted out ones) that were
equipped with the mechanical rod linkage, suffered from poor maintenance
in which the bushings wore out and allowed the rod to flop around in the
hole and thus wearing an elongated groove where the bushings are
supposed to go. S
Hi all, the heater valve is jammed open on my '65 spit mkII which doesn't
bother me too much, it just goes on a list of bits to get round to.
Recently I had the cooling system flushed and refilled as part of a major
service, and the pipe going from the top of the cylinder head to the valve had

Joe and anyone else who has retrofit a cable throttle,
Can this be done to an early spit (63-64) with the radiator expansion tank
over the carbs? And if so, is it just a matter of getting a pedal assembly
and the cable attachment "thingy"? I'm encountering a binding in two of the
rods on my mech
Of course, that's always an option as well, but it's slightly more involved
and is a bit overkill for the problem that James described. I know that you
prefer the feel of the cable throttle, Joe. But on my RHD Spitfire, I
personally preferred the mechanical linkage. When I went with the Keihin q
I just recieved a message from a Bill R at us.ibm.com that contained the
bugbear virus. Luckily my software caught it and warned me.
The file was entitled 1964spitfire.jpg.scr so it seems like it was intended
for the spit lists.
Please be careful and make sure your virus scanners are updated.
The valves normally get TIGHTER over time (in my experience). This
is because the valve face and seat wear more than the pushrod, rocker arm, etc.
This causes the valve to rise higher, thus reducing the clearance.
If the clearance goes to zero it is bad, because the valve may not seat
fully, and
Hi All,
Can anyone send me a picture (High res) of a Spit MkIV in
British Racing Green colours please. I would prefer a side view or an angled
front/side view. I will be using it on a webpage so I dont want copyright pics.
Thanks.
Happy Spitting..John (In the UK)
Or simply fit a cable type throttle from a later Spitfire and rid
yourself of the problem completely.

Always replace these if the springs have worn a groove in them!

James,
It sounds like you need a new bushing where the throttle shaft passes through
the bulkhead. Is there one now? Or is it missing altogether?
Take care,

I guess I mis stated the problem, there is a part
called the lower collar that is different for the dual
springs that we could not find... Hummm, I think I see
them on Vicky Britt now... Will get back with you...

Today was a nice spitfire-preparation day, this weekend we will be cruising
up the Costa Brava and along the French south coast. While doing my check of
the rocker valve clearances I was thinking about the necessity of this
procedure. I have always reasoned that due to wear the clearances can only

When talking about different stages of cylinder head tuning the Moss

Work continues to make my car work properly (well, at least do all the
little corrections)
My first roundtail specific question is this; is there a cure to

The inside of my Spit rocker cover has never looked too bad, but I recently
had to replace a head gasket on my 1.1l Ford Fiesta (also a pushrod engine
like the Spit), and under the rocker cover in there was absolutely packed
with this thick, sticky, tar-like substance, practically everywhere there
Chris,
I assume you are talking about the plastic blocks that are either end of the
U-shaped rail that the bottom of the glass slots into? I think these are
