A little more diffucult, as the "firewall" and battery/clutch/brake mounting
shelf is different as well as the mounting for the steering column and if a
later Spitfire the dash/dash mounting (the actual metal weldment) and wiring
would all be affected. While the firewall can probably be modified fairly
easily, the mounting for the rest would be a little more difficult - not
impossible, but more difficult - and sorry but I have to ask, . . . WHY?
