bulldog D Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 So I've been distracted for too long, what with the BMW and the Landrover defaulting as the 2nd and 3rd form of transport the poor old Spitfire has just been neglected and left to sit in the garage. The spare starter motor that I'd acquired has at last been fitted by me today and I'm now charging up the battery in the vain hope I can get the thing to fire up! For anybody who's ever attempted to get the starter off a Spit, the bottom nut and setscrew is a total swine to get to when the cars on the deck. It is therefore with a smug self satisfied clever smile on my face I can congratulate myself for getting my large hydraulic jack some years ago. Combined with a pair of ramps it was a joy to push the Spit up in the air, slide the ramps under the wheels and just get on with it in safety! Sometimes there's just no substitute for the right kit.

smithy266 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Absolutely!those and decent axle stands.... And room to work is a luxury, I had my garage extended last year, though too late to be of use for the last total rebuild on my Mog. Where abouts are you?

andrejuan Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 It's at 73 Earl St. Great place, I've been a few times. The guy who runs it is very personable and you can ask advice if you need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
