Gary,
I think I must be an "authority" on Spitfire doors by now. Lord knows
I've had my share of troubles with them.
To answer your question, "It depends". During the manufacture of the
Mk2, Triumph changed the latch mechanisms from what was used on the Mk1
(the outside handles turn) to what was used on the Mk3 (the push-button
types). In fact the only difference in all of the door skins all the
way through the 1500's is the allowance for the outside handles.
So if you get a later model Mk2 door with the anti-burst latch , it
should work on a mk3 without modifications.
Regards,
Joe Curry
