Bob,
The temperature transmitter is the same for all Spitfires (and indeed the
TR7 and no doubt others), so the one at NAPA should be fine. My guess is
that they don't bother stocking stuff for cars before 1980, so they only
list 80-81 as the relevant years for Triumph, even though the cars go
Clark, to it put it mildly you have no idea what the hell you are talking
about, there are over 1,000,000 model A still around, the figure of
600,00 is correct, my saying restored is wrong I should have said
driveable, just because I used the word restored does mean concours or

Folks,
Let me give you the correct way to ascertain the gauge of a wire.
First count the number of strands

I thought I would let the scratched front bumper
be for a while. I can't do it!!! Has anyone had any
work done by Hanlon Plating in Richmond, VA?
