Re: Spitfire Swing Spring

[Dave Fain <kc3565l@sprintmail.com>]

Seems like the different length axles would affect the camber with longer axles 
contributing to the rear end squat that a lot of Spitfires seem to have.  VB 
lists the same spring part number for 71-80 Spitfire Mk4 1500 and 73 GT6.  They 
do show Spitfire axles changing to the same part number as 1973 GT6 on 1973 
model year Spitfire, as you noted.  The shorter axles measure 11" between the U 
joint yoke and the dust shield, the longer ones are 12".

No. Swing-spring introduced for 1971 models. Longer axles introduced for 1973 
models.
