Hi All,

Long time lurker surfacing to pose a few questions to the learned souls
on this list.

Question 1: Is there any difference between a Dolomite 1500HL overdrive
gearbox and a Dolomite 1850HL overdrive gearbox?

Question 2: Has anyone measured the weight difference between a Mk3
Spitfire and a GT6+ with a Spitfire body? Or to ask it another way, has
anyone measured the difference in weight between the 1296 engine +
gearbox + ancillaries and the 2000 engine + gearbox + ancillaries. I'm
trying to work out the weight gain to the front of my Spitfire Mk3 by
having the 2L six in it - so I can try to at least remove some of the
additional weight through lightening (I'm dreaming I know).

Question 3: I know that a few people have fitted the saloon gearbox in a
GT6 - besides the weight gain and having to mod the tunnel cover what
other gotchas are involved? I suspect the clutch activation arm will
foul the chassis.

Any help with the above very much appreciated.

Cheers,
Todd Wilson
Spitfire Mk3 partly converted to GT6 specs, mostly butchered, in lots of
pieces...
