Looks like I might have to get "creative". Turns out that the circlip I need
for my stub axle is no longer available. I tried Spitbits and Victoria
British and struck out both places, and if they don't have it, I doubt anyone
else will.
This fifty cent part is available for later '68 Spitfire Mk3's and above, but
earlier Mk3's, Mk2's and Mk1's have a smaller diameter (3/4") axle shaft. The
later ones have a beefier, 1" axle, for which replacement wire-type circlips
are still available.
Any suggestions? I'd sure hate to have to replace my whole differential over
a fifty cent circlip!!!!
Take care,
