Well, I should have known better than to have assumed. Anyone with a Mk1-3 Spitfire find the same thing? The reason I ask is that I wound up making use of that hole to mount an exhaust hanger temporarily, at least, and it got me wondering why there would be a hole there to begin with. I figured it was just on my frame, but then I was looking through Thomason's Spitfire Book of Originality and noted the same drilled holes on an early Spitfire frame, just like the one I have. And it just made me curious... ----- Original Message ----- From: Barry Schwartz To: Jeff McNeal Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, June 07, 2003 6:20 AM Subject: Re: Frame trivia question
I'm afraid you've got me there, neither one of my frames has such a hole - anywhere in the center of it (or near the center). There is a hole in each corner on the bottom and it doesn't go all the way through, but that's about it - ************************** >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. Barry Schwartz - San Diego -([EMAIL PROTECTED]) --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
