(1) I have the green tubes but they dont go into anything technical they
just hang there.
(2) Mine has the plastic/PVC padding and they are still available from
Moss or Rimmers at www.rimmerbros.co.uk
(3) I believe the crome sill plates were an option on spitfires and you
can still buy them, i.e. Rimmer or Moss
(4) the button sounds like my fog light switch but I am am unsure what the
big square thing is, mind you didnt some have a Union jack flag
there?

Subject: The spitfire in triumph world questions
I was looking at the late UK Spitfire 1500 in Triumph world mag. I have
some questions some of you with UK spitfires may be able to answer.
If you look at the carburettors specifically the floats. There is the
usual
fuel lines connected, but there are also green pipes running from what I
presume is a vent connection along to the radiator upright, then down (on
the engine side, wheel side of the side valance) I then can't see where
they
go. There is not enough room for a carbon canister, so what do they goto?
I have both the pipe feed vent type float chamber lids and the bent bit of
metal into air type for my car. It may be that I have problems because I
use the bent metal type, and I will run better with the pipe type to give
the correct pressure loading to the float chamber.
Above the trim panels on the doors in my car there is a painted area, but
on
this car this area appears to be leatherette padded. Does this apply to a
UK 79?
On the sills below the doors there is a chrome tread plate. Is this normal
for all cars.
On the dash board to the right of the tachometer (in-between tack and
door).
Above there is a round button what does this do, and what is the big square
thing below it.
Thanks
James
