My 65 Spit diff is leaking out the front seal. My garage floor looks like the Exxon Valdez had just pulled away. Is it possible to replace the front seal without removing the diff from the car and th

E&H on Trade Zone in Milpitas CA has a MKII Spit and a MKII GT6. The latter was a project nearing completion, but lost its owner. Engine looks like a new rebuild, never started. Lots of parts. New un

If the glass is the same as for the MKII, there is no supplier to my knowledge. I checked into this quite thoroughly some time back. I would like to find a supplier, since the glass I have is very b

If I remember right, when I swapped the single rail non-od for the single rail od, it missed by only about a half inch. Still had to take it in for shortening and balancing. (BTW, it is worth the 80

Here's a new one: The OD cuts in and out ONLY in third gear. Does not seem to do it in fourth. I am figuring it has something to do with the 3rd/4th switch on the top of the box (though cant figure o

Thanks for the repsonses. FWIW to others, in the past, although it is not the problem now, the switch on the gear shift knob will be irregular unless cleaned well and squirted with a little WD40. Sou

Just a couple of blocks from where I recently moved in Capitola California, a Triumph 10 four door estate type car sits rusting under a tree. Looks mostly there. Sits on inflated tires in a driveway.

My MKII indicates about 300 rpm higher than actual. I have confirmed this with the tune-up hand held electronic tach. (Unless it is off). I figured it is just age. It needs cleaning I suppose. -- Br

Try a different brand of oil filter. I quit using Fram because the backflow valves often do not work. The delay you are experiencing may be the filter filling before delivering oil pressure to the s

This is very strange. On my 79 Spitfire. The clutch pedal has an uneven jerky return, like a sticky spring or something. All parts external to the bell housing have been serviced: pedal pivot, pedal

When doing a rebuild on my 1500, the supplier mistakenly sold me 1300 pistons. They were too tall. Rather than shorten the con rods, the designers of the 1500 shortened the pistons. Cheaper, my gues
