Greetings all, I am in the process of replacing my Spitfire's exterior door handles (and all the associated internal parts) with "new" units acquired from a parts car. After spending quite some time

I've just replaced the handle/locking mechanism on my drivers door, and had all kinds of problems getting the remote locking thingy to work. First of all, the eye in the slit pin on the new lock was

Of course, I've always wondered why someone would WANT to lock the doors on a Spitfire with a soft top? It's not like it could keep anyone from getting in, eh?????? Cheers, -- Bob Norway Rockledge, F

This is true - in fact, there's no need to slash the soft top to get in, because you can undo the poppers at the back and reach the handle (except with my locks, which can't be unlocked from inside i

I've tried the pull-out stereo trick, but it didn't work, the car was still broken into even with no stereo in it. Didn't try leaving the doors unlocked, though - that might work. As for a pull-out i

Was the parking spot anywhere near a donut shop? :-) That could explain why they wouldn't move, and why they didn't care about the vandalism that took place! --Original Message-- From: Laura G. [mail

The problem is with a pull out radio is they are not covered under most auto insurance policies. The radio has to be fully attached to the car in order for it to be considered part of the car. I pref
