Joe:
Would you know of a source that might have a 1971 Spitfire owners manual -
did not see it in the Moss catalog.
As a "new list member" am enjoying the various messages. Thanks!

Tony,
If you are talking about the piece that the end of the cable housing
attaches to, I had to fabricate one along with the other parts that
complete the assembly.
If you have a Haynes Manual, there is a photo and accompanying drawing
on page 100 that shows what it looks like. Let me know if this is what
you need. I might be able to help.
Regards,
Joe
