Makes sense, Doug, but I see one problem. I'll assume you're referring to
the GT6+ or Mk.3 style of "transverse" muffler here. I'm not sure it will
fit between the rear frame extensions of the later Spitfire 1500s. (It
works fine on your 1973, which doesn't have these.)
Perhaps a "Mk.1" GT6 muffler would work on a later car?
