That will allow you to lift the glass out without any obstruction. Your only problem might be if a previous owner has put any sort of sealant on the gasket which will make the glass stick to the remaining seal. In that case, you will have to run some sort of blede between the inner seal and glass to free the windshield.

Has any one repaired the horn section on one? when the end of the stalk is twisted in any way the horn honks. That means almost any time I use the turn signals or the bright/dim, I also honk the horn. I know new ones are available, but if I can fix it easily I would prefer to spend the money on other parts.

I think it's the first Spit I've ever seen with NO rust. The problem I'm experiencing that I could use your help with is the front bumper. I think when it was reassembled they put the front bumper on wrong. Maybe it's even the wrong bumper, did they change between the Mark IV and 1500? I only have the one Spit so I don't have another one to compare it to. There is a large gap in the front between the center front of the bonnet and the bumper just above where the license plate goes. It is MUCH wider than it should be and get narrower as it works around to just in front of the tire. The gap between the front valance (passenger side) and the front wheel well of the bonnet is super tight (touching) when the bonnet is closed. The driver side has a more normal gap in the same place. I don't see any way to adjust the bumper higher in the front. It seems like if it were raised in the front center that the trailing end of the bumper just in front of the tire would lower like a teeter totter. I tried to take some pics to show better what I'm talking about. See link below https://picasaweb.google.com/112760723054893641051/72Spitfire It seems like something was simply assembled incorrectly after it was rebuilt. I believe the car was fully disassembled during the restoration. It really is a beautiful job but the bumper just looks wrong. I could probably figure this out if I could just look at another Spit and compare. Anyone near Shelton Washington with a square tail that wants to meet up and compare? Maybe someone can look at the pics and give me an idea of what went wrong.

I think they used the same bumpers from 1971-78. I'd start by removing the front bumper. Then lay it upside down on a flat surface. Is it flat to the floor all along the bumpers top surface? If not, there's your issue, a bent bumper. Or, maybe your Bonnet nose isn't right. There should be some room in the bolts to lower the front end of the bonnet Mike Mack 79 Spitfire w/OD, Euro HS4 SUs, roller rockers, 4-2-1 exhaust, Double hoop rollbar 70 GT6 73 Stag 80 TR8 -----Original Message----- From: spitfires-bounces@autox.team.net [mailto:spitfires-bounces@autox.team.net] On Behalf Of David Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2012 1:25 AM To: Spitfires@autox.team.net Subject: [Spits] Front Bumper I've been lurking on the list for a really long time but I now have a great 72 Mark IV that I just acquired so I expect I might be a bit more active now.

Good insights. I'll remove the bumper and check for straightness. Visually (still on the car) it looks good. But I'll check it off the car too. My concern about trying to lower the bonnet in the front is that it is already touching the front valance on the passenger side. That valance doesn't seem to have much/any adjustment in it. Perhaps I'll remove the valance, lower the bonnet in the front and then see what it will take to get the valance back on and line up. I can always create some custom brackets to get the valance to go back on right, but doing that would seem to indicate I'm compensating for a misalignment or unobvious accident damage somewhere else. As for frame damage, that was actually my first thought but I dismissed it after looking closely at it. I couldn't see any obvious signs of bending or distortion. Does anyone have any measurements as reference that might tell me if the frame is out of whack. I suspect the problems are a result of a complete disassembly and then not being correctly reassembled rather than accident damage, but who knows. Doug - This Spit came with the license plate frame, so I'm not sure where to get one. Although, I did have a previous Spit with one just like it so they may be available somewhere. . . Actually, I just checked ebay, but it's kinda spendy. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Spitfire-license-plate-holder-601100201-/31022423888 1 Dave -----Original Message----- From: spitfires-bounces@autox.team.net [mailto:spitfires-bounces@autox.team.net] On Behalf Of Doug Braun Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2012 6:33 AM To: Mack, Michael (Rochester); Spitfire Group Subject: Re: [Spits] Front Bumper The car may have been hit once upon a time.

Each of the bolt holes in the bracket are slotted for lots of movement in every direction. The corner of the valance closest to the wheel controls the location of the ends of the bumper. After you remove the bumper to check if it is flat but before you put it back on is the time to adjust the valances. 1st step is to make sure you have good gaps between the hood and the body. These get adjusted at the hood hinge bolts. Next loosen all 4 of the bolts that hold the valance on - just loose enough that you can move the valance but not floppy loose. Then, with the hood closed, move the valances so that the seal along the top is just touching the underside of the hood along the whole length. When happy tighten the 4 bolts back up. Reinstall the bumper. I had to do this after poor assembly by a body shop. Bob Berger St. Louis 78 Spitfire owned since '90 On May 22, 2012, at 9:46 AM, "David" wrote: > Thanks everyone.

The Ignitor plate is held in place using one screw, so it can pivot some and change the gap between the ignitor and the magnetic sleeve. I contacted Pertronix - they said I don't need to worry about the gap as it is preset. But since the ignitor plate will pivot, the gap can change. Anyone have any suggestions on how it is properly positioned?

Everything was starting to line up better as I messed around with it more. However, the passenger side valance just wouldn't adjust low enough to avoid contact with the bonnet. Finally, I realized the bracket (see pic in link below) attaching the valance to the frame was upside down. It has slots for adjustment. One side of the bracket has vertical slots the other side has horizontal slots. The horizontal slots were at the top making it impossible to lower the valance to where it needed to be. Once I flipped it over everything finally fell into alignment. By the way, the driver side bracket was correct, but I didn't notice it until I realized the passenger side was wrong. Thanks everyone for the help and encouragement. https://picasaweb.google.com/112760723054893641051/72Spitfire#57477945439817 77938 David Gates '72 Spitfire Shelton, WA -----Original Message----- From: spitfires-bounces@autox.team.net [mailto:spitfires-bounces@autox.team.net] On Behalf Of Berger Bob Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2012 8:24 PM To: Spitfire Group Subject: Re: [Spits] Front Bumper The valances have a bracket that connects them to the frame with 4 bolts - 2 into the frame and 2 into the valance. Each of the bolt holes in the bracket are slotted for lots of movement in every direction. The corner of the valance closest to the wheel controls the location of the ends of the bumper. After you remove the bumper to check if it is flat but before you put it back on is the time to adjust the valances. 1st step is to make sure you have good gaps between the hood and the body. These get adjusted at the hood hinge bolts. Next loosen all 4 of the bolts that hold the valance on - just loose enough that you can move the valance but not floppy loose. Then, with the hood closed, move the valances so that the seal along the top is just touching the underside of the hood along the whole length. When happy tighten the 4 bolts back up. Reinstall the bumper. I had to do this after poor assembly by a body shop. Bob Berger St. Louis 78 Spitfire owned since '90 On May 22, 2012, at 9:46 AM, "David" wrote: > Thanks everyone.
