1. Re: Reasonable price for Spitfire Top install? (score: 1)
Author: Andrew Mace <amace@unix2.nysed.gov>

Could be reasonable, could be very high. If it's an AMCO top with the rear snaps preinstalled, then fitting the top to the header rail (really the only remaining task) shouldn't take more than 1-1.5

Kevin, I think it's 1 and 13/16", but someone will have the socket at hand and tell us for sure. Meanwhile, it won't be cheap no matter how you look at it. And you'll likely need the 3/4" drive break

All you'll need to do is change the flange on your driveshaft. U-joints are the same regardless, so you need a flange from a 1971 or later Spitfire driveshaft OR axle shaft (same piece). I'll bet som

I believe recommendations for a 175/70 13 tire are 4.5"-6" rims, so the 1970 and later Spitfire rims are ok. Meanwhile, 175/70 is about the maximum width for a 4.5" wheel. I don't know as it's danger

And, I, respectfully, must disagree. Why not? There is nothing about a properly worn and fastened "stock" shoulder harness to prevent one from doing just that. For those few who might still have the

That IS normal, as I recall. As I noted privately to you earlier, 145 SR 13 was the original radial tire optional size for the Mk3 and is fairly close in circumference to the 5.20 13 bias ply tires.
