It's been a long wait... I haven't been active in either of these lists for many months. But today I finally got some free time and therefore got some car work done. First, I got the Spitfire fired up after its long winter's nap. It seems to have suffered no ill effects from such a long sleep except for a thoroughly dead battery. If it doesn't hold a charge after begin on a charger for a few days I'll spring for another battery. It's been getting weaker for years anyway.
More importantly, I started re-assembling the GT6 gearbox. It took some doing to get the 3rd gear circlip in place, the one at the front end of the mainshaft. But I got it firmly in. Don't know why it was so hard, even after ordering two new ones from Spitbits. Then I got the mainshaft, input shaft, and reverse gear all in place and in the gearbox! The layshaft is next, but I know a few tricks to make that job easier. I need to go to work tomorrow so I can rest. Happy summer, everyone! Drive safe.
