Author: Nolan Penney <npenney@pop.erols.com>
Date: 1 Nov 1999 05:50:11 -0800
Having now gone through four master cylinders in less then two years, I'm really getting fed up with them. The last one was a brass lined one even. No it wasn't new, but the bore was perfect and I re

Since my lucas alternator decided to go bye bye, I switched to a Delco unit. Cheaper, more powerfull, readily available when dead on the side of the road. Very simple conversion. Took me all of about

Forgot to mention, if you go this route, get the GM adjusting bracket for the alternator from a junk yard. Yes, I made one for my car, but I also had the metal and welder. And it still isn't as good

Yes, my vents are clear, I use Castrol LMA brake fluid, and yep, it's leaking out the rear of the master cylinders. In some cases squirting. I wasn't very clear in my quick post though. The first mas

It's not difficult to weld a cracked frame, but it can be quite difficult to fix a cracked frame. To weld it, you just melt the metal, and away you go. To fix it, you want to find out why the frame c

Went shopping in the DC area with Ludwig for some Spitfire parts. It was an enlightening day, and he suggested I post about it, since I'm the one close to the computer these days. We started off goin

Author: Nolan Penney <npenney@pop.erols.com>

Between the two, I prefer beige. The black is hotter and looses detail to the eye when admiring the car. I've got a black, and would prefer a beige interior. Another color to consider though would be

9. Propane Powered Spitfire (score: 1)
Author: Nolan Penney <npenney@pop.erols.com>
Date: 6 Oct 1999 11:31:59 -0700
Burned valves are quite a possibility. So are holed pistons and bent cranks. Propane will allow me to crank up the boost, that's why I'm going to it. And there's always NOS.

And what of the people who have been burned by members of this group? Should they be punished as well? Or should we pretend that all group members are wonderfull? (they aren't)

Wow Joe, I see you decided a reply to me wasn't enough. You copied the message onto a previous *private* thread, and pasted it to the whole news group. Dragging Charlies name into it for no good reas

The Grassroots Spitfire isn't just a Spitfire body, it's a Spitfire. Frame, body, interior, front suspension are all pure Spitfire. Drive train isn't, and that's about it. And out back it's still cou

Take a look at a Vicky Brit catalog or TRF and you will see the part numbers are different. Don't remember the year change. When I went to replace the bad master cylinder on my 1980 1500 with the mas
