1.

What parts must be modified? Any issues? Pros/cons? Any advice appreciated. TIA C; /html/spitfires/2003-11/msg00031.html (7,024 bytes)
2. Re: Rear suspension (score: 1): Author: ZoboHerald@aol.com; Date: Thu, 06 Nov 2003 09:57:14 -0500; Short answer? Yes. It requires welding the appropriate lower wishbone brackets to the existing chassis and working out the shock absorber issue. The original swing-axle shock mounting will foul the r; /html/spitfires/2003-11/msg00033.html (7,560 bytes)

Unfortunately I have no leads on any GT6 (Mk2) cars or parts that might be for sale in SA. (Very rare indeed). Easiest then would; /html/spitfires/2003-11/msg00085.html (9,129 bytes)

Think you are correct about the trailing arms. Most probably will be too long. Can they be shortened without problems?

RE: Rear suspension (score: 1): Author: "scotts junk" <smacsjunk@hotmail.com>; Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2003 09:11:59 -0600; Factory manual specs for the GT6 rotoflex trailing arm is 16.71 inches, for the Vitesse Mk2 it is 14.71 inches. Cutting and adding a 2' spacer is do-able but not easy. These are easy - no, no and no; /html/spitfires/2003-11/msg00088.html (8,710 bytes)
6. Rear suspension (score: 1): Author: Mike_Blischke@Countrywide.Com; Date: Thu, 2 May 2002 09:52:59 -0700; I just picked up a 1979 Spit. The driver's side rear suspension is sagging. Is this hard to fix? I am not a master mechanic by any means, but I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty and learn a thing or; /html/spitfires/2002-05/msg00024.html (6,833 bytes)
7. Re: Rear suspension (score: 1): Author: Douglas Braun & Nadia Papakonstantinou <doug@dougbraun.com>; Date: Thu, 02 May 2002 15:28:17 -0400; How can the rear of the car sag to one side while the front remains level? If this were really the case, the frame would have to be badly twisted. Possibly you really have two separate problems: 1: T; /html/spitfires/2002-05/msg00025.html (8,305 bytes)

Personally, I'd assume that when he said he used the short axles with the swing spring, it meant that he used the short axles with the swing spr; /html/spitfires/1999-03/msg00244.html (7,787 bytes)

RE: rear suspension (score: 1): Author: Mark Sinclair <msinclair@dis-inc.com>; Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 12:28:50 -0800; I guess I'm just a little slow today - I thought the swing spring was longer to match the longer axles. So if you put the short axles with the longer swing spring your camber would be way off. Last q; /html/spitfires/1999-03/msg00252.html (6,850 bytes)
10. Re: rear suspension (score: 1): Author: Mark J Bradakis <mjb@cs.utah.edu>; Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 15:07:37 -0800 (PST); Yes, the swing spring is a bit longer. The goal of the modifications to the suspension was to minimize the jacking effect, inherent in the design of the swing axle suspension.

However, the early "squaretail" Spitfires with swing-springs (1971 and 1972) still used the same length axles as all Spit; /html/spitfires/1999-03/msg00263.html (7,558 bytes)
