- TRF has most all the parts you'd need for early spits(62-70). You just have to have a factory parts book (which you should have anyway) to get the numbers. Look in their price list and if the number

- My experience is similar to others with a couple of additions: TRF does support the early Spitfire but they do not currently publish a catalog for it. I have one I got from them 8 or 9 years ago that

- Just to put my .02 in on this discussion, I have, so far, only dealt with Rimmer Bros., and while I have been quite happy with the parts I received, I have found the support to be a little poor. In t
