| 2009-08-29 | Dan | 9 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you for the information. By the way, the custome shops in the area charge in the neighborhood of $1,000 for the job so there is no advantage there. I did learn on a Triumph site that some people shave 1-1-1/2" of foam out of the Maita seats for more head room. Still not a great solution. Thanks anyway. Dan |
| 2009-08-10 | Paul Grant | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks, I ground down the flat to get more throw on the slave pushrod, it worked. I guess the aftermarket cylinder may not have been to spec. |

| 2008-07-25 | scott | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Jim thank you for you information and advice, as well as your speedy delivery |
| 2008-07-23 | jan | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks, Jim. I couldn't wait (I'm a new owner). So I was able to get at the speedo cable from underneath. There's a big cable that runs from the bell housing to the frame. I took one end of that off and there was enough room. When I say I couldn't wait for your answere, I don't mean you were slow in response...I just can't keep my hands off that car. Thanks again! |

Expertise
My area of specialty is the Triumph Spitfire 1500 (1973-1980) although I have some technical experience with the GT6 and TR6 models also. I can cover questions on all areas of the Spitfire, from basic mechanical questions to where to find original style seat covers and soft tops. I am not an expert on the TR2/3/4 models. If you need specific detailed help with these models I first recommend obtaining a good repair manual such as the Robert Bentley manual for your particular model.
Experience
I have been a Spitfire owner for 20 years and have done all my own repair work. On the Spitfire I've done just about everything except mount and balance tires.
In addition to street use I have been autocrossing a Spitfire with the SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) in Modified class since 1997.
Organizations
Red River Triumph Club
SCCA (Sports Car Club of America)
NASS (North American Spitfire Squadron)
