Dear Mr. Knowitall ;-] and others,
We may be talking about GT6's (gas tank on left in all countries, I think),
but Spitfires have the gastank weight in the center.

Hi Ed and list:
Gotcha. That is FACTORY, and I believe it is 3/8", not 1/2. Think for a
moment about RHD cars. Driver on right, fuel tank on left. Simple and
balanced, yes. In North America (well, everywhere else) both on left side.
The spacer is a compensatory device to correct what would otherwise be a
left-leaning car (no relation to politics!). This piece should be above the
assembled spring/shock assembly.
