1. Brakes. Many cars today do have the circuits split diagonally, for the very reasons you describe. But this involves some other hydraulic circuitry to make it work. Triumph simply split them fore and aft. Interestingly, in about 1978 Triumph reversed their plumbing to the master cylinder for unknown reasons.
2. Chassis data. Two up means two people. I think the weight used for two people was about 165 lbs., but I'm far from sure of that. 3. Gearbox. It's the overall gear ratio the engine sees in relationship to the tires in the highest gear. Since the Spitfire has a 4 speed with 4th being direct, it's simply the rear end ratio. In the case of 5 speed transmissions with overdrives, it will be lower then the final drive ratio. ----------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this communication may be confidential, is intended only for the use of the recipient named above, and may be legally privileged.
