21. RE: rear sway bar (score: 1)
Author: M D Nugent <carcentric@yahoo.com>
Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2006 05:41:23 -0800 (PST)
My interpretation is that the swing spring was implemented to minimize the deadly (literally) inside wheel tuck under in high-G corners. Adding a rear swaybar shouldn't undo that, and it will result

The bolt circle (pcd in the UK) is 4-on-3.75" - the 3.75" is measured from the center of one stud hole to the center of the opposite stud hole. I think the center hole needs to be 2.25" (from memory,

I believe that the top of the front bumper on Mk 1-2 Spitfires was lower than the bottom of the grill, and the Mk3 bumper was mid-grill height (to meet US requirements). Is your GT6 front bumper lowe

Thanks for the quick response, Joe. First, do you know the pinion gear tooth count for the 3.27 and 3.89? If the pinion gears are the same, the 3.89 crown/ring gear would be BIGGER (in diameter) than

Here's Jeff's account: Looks like the nuts he eventually used (from Spitbits) were NOT beveled on both ends, but they are different than the VB ones. I'd still recommend upgrading to 7/16" studs. MDN

I agree that the front springs will have a dramatic effect on lean to the side (both front and rear), but something else also needs to work correctly for a level chassis - your (front) antisway bar.
