Moss Rebuild Programme


Moss Europe are pleased to announce the new Gold and Platinum re-build programmes. If you have
purchased a Bodyshell from either Moss Europe or another supplier and are planning a rebuild, then you
qualify for the Platinum rebuild programme. The programme allows you to receive 10% off all further
purchases (or sale price whichever is lower, some further exclusions may apply) for your rebuild for up to
24 months. If however you do not need a bodyshell and you place an initial order for 800.00 this qualifies
you for the Gold rebuild programme. The programme allows you to receive 10% off all further
purchases (or sale price whichever is lower, some further exclusions may apply) for your rebuild for
up to 12 months. You will be assigned to a personal Moss consultant to assist you during your

Parts Back-Order System


A back-order system is used when a part is not in stock at the time of ordering. If the item is
expected to become available within a reasonable time frame, then it will be put on back-order,
unless the customer instructs us otherwise. When we have the parts in stock, the back-order will
be processed automatically and the item will be dispatched to the customer. If the particular part
becomes No Longer Available (NLA) or is likely to be unavailable for some time, then the customer
will be advised and asked if the order is to be cancelled.

Value Added Tax


Value Added Tax (VAT) at the current rate will be levied on all orders being dispatched to all
countries within the European Community. VAT is not charged on goods dispatched to countries
outside of the EC. However, such orders are often subject to local import duty, taxes and Customs
clearance, which MUST be paid by you at the port of entry. Such charges are not included in the
cost of the goods or delivery prices.

Exchange Units
We are able to offer a full rebuild service on numerous major components in our product range.
We offer this service as an alternative to direct replacement parts, or when a brand new item is
no longer available. However, the continuity of this exchange scheme needs the understanding and
co-operation of our customers in relation to several important points:
It is important to remember that "rebuilt" does not mean "brand new". Rebuilding a unit involves
stripping, cleaning, inspecting and re-assembling the unit. During this process, parts showing
signs of wear will either be completely replaced or suitably renovated. However, it is not always
feasible for major sub-components to be replaced with brand new ones, for example, an exchange

engine will not have a new block. Due to the nature of certain product lines, some items can only
be offered on a "one for one" exchange basis. This effectively means that you must offer us a
viable unit before we can release a fully rebuilt item from our stock. In some instances we can only
carry out reconditioning of your own unit. Our staff will inform you if this is the case. All exchange
units are subject to a surcharge. This surcharge serves two purposes; firstly, it acts as an incentive
for you to return your old unit, and secondly it provides us with financial cover if your returned unit
proves unsuitable for exchange purposes.
Whether or not your returned unit is suitable for exchange purposes cannot be ascertained until it
is made available to us for inspection. As a general rule, suitable for exchange basically excludes
any items that are beyond reasonable repair (e.g. crankcases ventilated with a connecting rod) or
units irrevocably damaged. We are also unable to accept units unless they are returned in whole,
complete form (i.e. differential units which are returned partly stripped with no bearings and all the
shims missing are not generally accepted), nor do we accept a "box of bits".
Surcharges will only be refunded once our core department has passed the item as serviceable.
Under no circumstances can any exchange unit be shipped overseas until we receive your original
unit. We have predetermined prices for our exchange units based on our experience, what it will
cost to repair a gearbox, axle or engine. Occasionally, however, the damage to the unit is so great
that we will contact you before beginning work on your unit to advise you of any additional cost
that may be incurred during the rebuild of the unit. We can return the unit (at your cost) if this
proves unacceptable.

Core Returns
Exchange items are subject to a surcharge that is refunded when a rebuildable unit (core) is
returned. Cores must be returned within 90 days of purchase. When you receive the rebuilt unit,
attached to it will be a Core Return Authorisation Tag. This tag must be removed from the rebuilt
unit and attached to the returned core in order to receive credit. Cores must be returned in the
original box or carton supplied with the rebuilt unit. Cores must be shipped clean and empty of
fluids. Cores must be complete, assembled and rebuildable to receive credit or refund. You must
pay all shipping charges for the return of the core and these charges are not refundable.

Warranty
All parts are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 12 months
from the date of purchase. The warranty does not cover labour charges, failure of a related
component, failure resulting from incorrect installation or misuse, nor will the warranty in any
event be greater than the cost of the original component.

Warranty Returns
Parts that fail in use may be returned for 12 months from the date of purchase. Returns must be
accompanied by the original invoice - no warranty claims will be paid without a copy of the original
invoice. Return freight will be reimbursed. Electrical parts returned for warranty will be tested and
if found functional, no return credit will be given and the part will be returned. Reimbursement is
made by the original payment method. Complete the return form included in each order, pack the
items securely and use the shipping return label supplied.

Non-Warranty Returns
All uninstalled parts, in their original packaging may be returned within 90 days for any reason. A
copy of the original invoice or the picking label (which is generally attached to the original
packaging) must accompany the return. Return freight is paid by the customer. If the return is due
to our error, the return freight will be reimbursed. Parts returned outside of this policy or in nonresalable condition may not be accepted or may be assessed a 15% handling fee. Reimbursement
is made by the original payment method. Complete the return form included in each order, pack
the items securely and use the shipping return label supplied.

be made to provide you with Quality Parts and Expertise in a relaxed, helpful and friendly manner.

Production Data, Details & General Information

Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN)

1954: Alick Dick takes over as Managing Director from Sir John Black. He builds up Standard
Triumph by purchasing smaller concerns to enable him to produce complete cars with little outside
help. The Herald is first new car, followed by the Spitfire project. Autumn 1960: Cash crisis forces
the Spitfire development plan to be shelved. August 1961: Leyland Motors purchase Standard
Triumph, Stanley Markland becomes MD. He discovers Spitfire prototype under a dust cover by
accident and demands it be put into production.

VIN numbers replaced commission numbers in October 1979, commencing at VIN000001 with an 8 digit prefix.

A Brief History of the Triumph Spitfire Development


Standard Eight introduced incorporating newly developed 803cc SC (small car) engine.

FC1 to FC44656
October 1962 Earls Court Motor Show. Spitfire 4 announced, competing against the BMC Sprites
and Midgets. The car is an instant success, and outsells the Spridgets in every year of production
bar one (due to a strike in 1969).
The number 4 denotes the number of cylinders. The Vitesse has already gone on sale in the USA
as the Sports 6 and so the Spitfire 4 follows suit to fit in with the prevailing marketing strategy an important selling point since 50% of Triumph Spitfires are to be exported to the USA!

Spitfire 4 MkII - December 1964 to January 1967

1957
Triumph Herald (code name Zobo) begins to develop under the guidance of Alick Dick, Harry
Webster (chief designer) and Martin Tustin (General Manager). Original design concept
incorporated a monocoque body shell. Eventually the realities of financial constraint led them to
use a chassis and separate body shell. This chassis was to be the jig foundation for a whole range
of vehicles. Body designed by Giovanni Michelotti. Went on sale April 1959.

1960-1962

FD1 to FD15306, FD20000 to FD51967, FD75000 to FD92803 (Oct 1969 on). In 1967 Leyland
Motors take over Rover-Alvis. In 1968 they take control of BMC/Jaguar. The British Leyland Motor
Corporation is formed making stable mates of Triumph and MG.

Saw the development of Bomb a new sports car utilising the SC engine unit (1147cc) and Herald
chassis. Bomb became known as the Spitfire 4, with the body again designed by Michelotti. The car
utilised much of the Herald running gear including engine, gearbox, suspension - the prototype even
incorporated the same instrument gear and, the car almost went into production without a rev counter!
High compression engine (90:1), twin SU carburettors and a high lift cam provided 63 bhp. Rear
suspension consisted of a transverse mounted fixed leaf spring, radius arms & telescopic shock
absorbers. Disc brakes fitted at the front. The steering gave the car a smaller turning circle than a London
Taxi. Overdrive was optional. The Spitfire 4 was launched at the Earls Court Motor Show in 1962.

Spitfire 1500 - December 1974 to August 1980

Cut & shut Herald chassis but without the out riggers to support centre of car. The sills supplied
strength and were (and still are) vital to the structure and safety of the vehicle.

Early production
Early production of the body shell at the Forward Radiator Works, Bordesley Green, Birmingham
used low quality tooling, which was uprated once the Spitfire 4 became a success. Hardtop
introduced as an option in late 1963.

1963
Spitfire GT project begins to develop using fastback hardtop and 1598cc Vitesse engine. The
Vitesse engine was developed from the 1959 Vanguard 6 unit; this was essentially a small car

October 1966
GT6 (formerly the Spitfire GT), revealed with fixed fastback body shell and 1998cc engine.

January 1967
Spitfire MkIII introduced with long stroke 1296cc engine of 75 bhp. The 4 tag became redundant.
First of the Spitfire range to incorporate negative earth electrical systems. Trim revised, external
changes consisted of raised bumpers to conform with new regulations. Reverse lights installed.
Fold down hood replaced detachable type.

The export market nose dives during the late 1970s and coupled with British Leylands appalling
financial, management and labour problems, the company is unable to invest in a replacement
sports car for the Spitfire. The Triumph name is eventually lost in the early 1980s after being used
as a badge for the new Acclaim - a CKD car imported from new partners Honda.

Engine Development and the Triumph Spitfire

Spitfire MkIV

Introduced in 1951 as an 803cc unit for the Standard 8 the SC (Small Car) engine was later
developed for use in the Triumph Herald and Spitfire 4. It underwent various stages of development
from 1147cc & 1296cc before the introduction of the environmentally friendly 1500cc version, first
in the USA, and later elsewhere.
Unable to bore the engine out any more from the 1296cc version, Triumph engineers increased
the capacity by altering the crankshaft to produce a longer stroking engine. Cylinder block depth
remained the same as did the con rods. There were no changes to the head and only minor detail
changes to the block.
The PE150, a slanting four cylinder engine developed by Triumph, was tested alongside a
partially developed 1500cc SC engine at MIRA in 1966. Results were outstanding but squeezing
the Slant-4 engine into the Spitfire shell proved too costly to allow production. The unit went on
to be used in the Saab 99 and the TR7.

GT6 MkII begins production introducing revised and much improved rear suspension. October
1970. GT6 MkIII released which incorporated radically restyled front and rear end by Michelotti to
fit in with the current Triumph range.

Spitfire MkIV November 1970 to December 1972 (USA) and to December 1974 (all markets). The
Michelotti restyled front and rear ends matched the lines of the new GT6 MkIII. New angular hardtop
designed at Coventry. Rear suspension uprated by replacing the solidly fixed rear spring with a pivoted
unit. The swing spring stopped much of the interesting cornering problems of the earlier models. All
synchromesh gearbox fitted, and final drive ratio changed from 4.11:1 to 3.89:1 (3.37 in overdrive). Power
output restricted by USA environmental regulations to 63 bhp. Interior modified and became similar in
appearance to the GT6 MkIII. Dashboard modified so instruments were in front of driver rather than in
centre of the dash panel, as found on all previous models.

July 1973
USA models received 1500cc engine, due to lost sales caused by bhp reduction. In the same year all
models had rear suspension track increased by 2. D type overdrive replaced in August by J type.

GT6
MkIII ceases production in December 1973.

Spitfire 1500
Spitfire 1500 introduced January 1973 (USA) and December 1974 (everywhere else). Bigger 71
bhp, 1493cc engine. New single rail gearbox from Marina with the same specified ratios as the
MkIV. (The Marina gearbox was itself a development from the Vitesse/GT6 unit, but with a new
single-rail selector mechanism.) Final drive 3.63:1. Minor styling changes.

I977
1977 saw new seats, trim and TR7 style switch gear.

What Can I Do To Make My Spitfire Go Faster?


There really isnt a simple answer to this question. For instance: Do you want higher speeds on the
motorway or do you want more mid-range torque? Do you drive your car fairly hard on a daily
basis, or just use it on weekends? Would you like that little bit more power, or do you want
maximum BHP? Or, do you just want the car to be quicker through bends? Then we could ask,
have you, or are you going to, upgrade the brakes? Are your suspension and/or steering
bushes/components OK? Will your transmission and drive train handle more power/speed? Is your
car standard, or has it been previously overhauled/uprated?
On the following pages, you will find a range of quality components that will improve engine
performance, braking, steering and the handling of your classic and, if you want to make it a real
head turner, complete the transformation by fitting a set of wide section alloy wheels. Please dont
forget, before increasing the power output and speed of any vehicle, you should ensure that your
brakes, steering, chassis etc can cope with the modifications, and, a roll bar is a very sensible
investment... for all open top sports cars.
Note: Descriptions And Dimensions.
As we have no control over installations/modifications (whether previous or current), it is the sole
responsibility of the user to ensure safe and correct fitment, tolerances and clearances.
Manufacturers/suppliers descriptions and dimensions are given in good faith at the time of
publication. Errors and Omissions Excepted.

Body Panels
We supply a range of replacement fibre-glass panels. See accessories catalogue for full details.

Mallory Distributors
If your vehicle was originally fitted with a Lucas distributor, then you can fit the track proven twin
point Mallory distributor.

Performance HT Ignition Leads

Cooling
The standard Spitfire radiator - even when new, is only just adequate in cooling the 1500 engine
in traffic, so we strongly recommend you fit our uprated (wider) performance radiator - part
number RKC2117.
Note: The wide radiator which was fitted to the very early Spitfire 4 and Herald range, is of no
benefit to the cooling of the Spitfire range.
The fitting of a Kenlowe electric fan has been found to be very worthwhile on the Spitfire range, not
only to improve cooling but unlike the standard fan it does not absorb energy (approx. 3bhp) from
the engine. The later 1500 models use a viscous coupling fan unit which is quite good, but when it
gives problems we have found that the Kenlowe electric fan is a very worthwhile investment.

Engine Oil Cooling


For all models it is worthwhile for an oil cooler to be used, as the temperature can easily exceed
100 degrees for even standard vehicles on medium distance motorway work. The kits are listed in
various styles to suit all needs, all kits are supplied with ready assembled hoses and mounting
brackets. The installation kit can be supplied with a thermostatic controlled adaptor plate for road
cars which can give you the best control of the oil temperature.
For the Spitfire/Herald range, the oil radiator is mounted in front of the water radiator and, upside
down, so that the inlets are underneath the oil radiator. We also now list a conversion which enables
an oil filter to be fitted which will stop the early morning bearing rattle, but this can only be
incorporated when fitting an oil cooler system.
To simplify the options we have listed this conversion for thermostatic. For owners who already have
one of our oil coolers fitted, then we can supply the special conversion adaptor and filter only, this
may not fit other manufacturers adaptor blocks.

Ignition System
Electronic Ignition
If you are tired of setting the points, then electronic ignition is the answer, refer to accessories
catalogue for full details of the different ignition systems we supply.

Whether you fit high performance silicone or competition plug leads, they are essential If you have
fitted a sports coil, uprated distributor and NGK spark plugs.

Brake System
This is a very important area that must be attended to when carrying out any conversion work. We
will continue on the assumption that the braking system is in a working condition and that the
brake discs are not worn out or badly scored, both of which will affect the possible braking
efficiency. We supply uprated brake pads that can be used with standard calipers and disc as well
as complete uprated brake kits.

Spitfire Models
For road use the standard parts can be retained with the improvement of the linings being uprated
to restrict the fade at high speed. For further improvement the GT6 system is recommended as the
larger disc will give better braking. To install this, the vertical link and caliper mount is changed to
suit the larger disc and caliper, as well as the stub axle and wheel hub to suit the larger bearings.
The brake master cylinder will need to be increased in size as well as the use of smaller wheel
cylinders or the fitting of the larger GT6 rear brakes complete.

GT6 & Vitesse Models


For a road car uprated brake pads will help to reduce brake fade. For cars which need much better
braking we would recommend the use of the ventilated brake disc kit. When installing this kit,
some calipers may need modifications to clear the inside of the road wheel.

Brake Servo
This is recommended for all cars with single braking system. This uses a remote servo unit which is
plumbed into the brake line and inlet manifold. The increase in braking efficiency is well worth the
cost of this item for a road car and in some instances can be used for racing applications as well.
This cannot be used where the car is fitted with dual line braking circuit as there is not enough room
to install the special dual line servo system, which is an integral servo and master cylinder.

Brake System
General Brake Information

AC Delco Distributors
These are fitted to all Spitfire models prior to the 1500. The MkIll 3122 distributor has the best
advance curve for a modified engine, but these are difficult to obtain. All the other units now
available produce too much advance and must be tweaked to suit the engine. At present we are
unable to offer any sensible alternative as the tachometer must also be driven from this unit.

Lucas Distributors

When fitting new harder linings it is essential that they are bedded in correctly for them to work
efficiently and give the best results. Remember, some, but not all brake pads and linings are still
made from asbestos, for personal safety do not use a brush or air line to remove brake dust, but
instead use a vacuum cleaner or a damp cloth together with a can of brake cleaner. Make sure
the dust and/or cloths are disposed of properly. (Dont use hard pads with cool running discs).

The 1500 models all use this type of unit, with electric tachometer, which for a road car can be
made to produce good results with only minor tweaks to the springs, use spring pack TT1903. We
also list two alternative units which have a reduced curve for with models equipped with SU carbs,
with vacuum advance, or for Webers, without vacuum advance.

Brake discs also need bedding in on low speed gentle braking for about 10 miles, gradually raise
the speeds, but maintain the gentle braking application. Then make 2 to 3 heavy braking
applications, which should complete the bedding in. We also recommend the fitting of stainless
steel braided hoses, that give a firmer brake pedal and less pressure drop through hose expansion.
Complete brake pipe sets are also available and are supplied complete, ready assembled with
unions for easy installation.

Lucas Advance Springs

Steering

For Lucas distributors, we are able to supply a set of five advance springs, part number TT1903,
so that the advance curve can be tailored to suit your own requirements. These are used to restrict
the low speed advance curve to reduce the pinking problem.

It goes without saying that all steering components/bushes must be thoroughly inspected and
replaced as a matter of course if suspect. We also supply quick racks that have a high ratio pinion
giving you lock-to-lock in only 2.5 turns, compared to the standard 3.5. These are really aimed at
competition vehicles as they do give heavier steering.

Bristol 0117 923 2523 Manchester 0161 480 6402

Suspension
When rebuilding or modifying the suspension make sure you check all components for wear
(trunnions for worn nylon bushes, or wear to the vertical link and bushes).
The order of priority for suspension tuning is:
1)
2)
3)
4)

Front Springs & Shock Absorbers.


Rear Springs & Shock Absorbers.
Front Anti-Roll Bar (larger).
Rear Anti-Roll Bar.

For competition cars, if regulations allow, use GT6 suspension components which will allow the
larger disc and brake pads, plus larger wheel bearings. You will also need to increase rear brake
diameter for balanced competition braking.

Anti-Roll Bar
The fitting of the front and rear anti roll bars together has proved to be very worthwhile in obtaining
a more neutral steering car which is much more stable through the bends and is also more
forgiving in driver error, i.e: nowhere near so much directional change if you stop accelerating
while cornering. The front bar uses the standard end fittings and the 1500 centre clamps.

TECHNICAL ADVICE

The GT6/Vitesse set of gears are the basis for the close ratio gear set for the Spitfire range. The
gears are a straight fit but the input shaft must be modified to suit the new application. (Close
ratio gearboxes are available on an exchange basis).
Single Rail Type Gearbox (Reverse is next to 3rd Gear).
Again the close ratio gear set is based on the GT6 gears and exchange gearboxes can be built to
order, with standard or competition size bearings to the laygear and input shaft. This range use
the 1.00 x 23 spline clutch.

Uprated Overdrive
We may be able to uprate your own overdrive if the unit is in good condition.
Note: This may not be possible with the D type overdrives.

Axle Ratios

Spitfire MklV & 1500

The easiest way of altering the acceleration or cruising speed, is to change the axle ratio, either
as a unit or crown wheel and pinion. Due to the many production variations on the same model
range some of these ratios cannot be fitted directly.

Again fit both bars together but use the larger 1.00 bar at the front.

The higher the numeric value of the ratio - the lower the gearing, i.e.: lower top speed for the same RPM.

GT6 & Vitesse (All Models)

The chart here covers the range of ratios that have been available to suit the models shown.

These models use the 7/8 bar at the front with the relevant rear bar to suit the type of suspension
fitted to the car. The 1 bar can be used but is only recommended for competition use.
For competition we can also offer the nylatron bushes for the inner wishbone position which will
give a superior control.

When changing the differential ratio, please think of the overall effect to your cars performance,
including the selection of the road wheel and tyres, especially regarding 50/55/60 aspect tyres,
and the ability of your engine to pull maximum revs is also an important factor.= GT6 & Vitesse.

Fit both front and rear bars together to obtain a balanced car using the 7/8 front bar.

Shock Absorbers
It goes without saying that when proposing to increase the performance of any car, uprated
dampers must be fitted. Please refer to accessories catalogue for full details.

Front Springs
To improve stability and road holding, it is essential to raise the front spring rate and to lower the
ride height. This can be achieved with a change in springs and if required, the use of adjusting
spacers to correct the ride height to suit your own use.
One car can vary considerably from the next, it may be found that on some cars the road springs
do not reduce the height, because the originals have sagged to a lower ride height through old age
or damage. The relationship between the new springs fitted length and the resulting ride height
is a ratio of approximately 5:8: i.e: if the springs fitted length is 5 units shorter, the reduction in
ride height will be 8 units - the amount increasing because the lower wishbones do not sit
horizontally on the car.
Note: In the specific suspension tuning section we have given the fitted length of all springs so
you can determine the correct type for your car/ application.

Rear Suspension

Engine Variations
On any engine conversion, it is essential to consider very carefully the suspension and braking
systems. We list here some of the sensible and possible engine transplant conversions. There are
many more combinations which will depend on your own ingenuity and engineering capabilities.
Purists are warned not to read this section, it may be bad for your health.

Spitfire Models
Any large engine swap also requires substantial improvements to the handling and brakes as they
will not be up to scratch, even for the standard car.

1300 To 1500 Engine

See accessories catalogue for full details of the different types of rear suspension layout.

This can be easily carried out without too many problems, only requiring care as to the gearbox
and clutch parts used, especially when working with the 1500 single rail gearbox.

Wheels And Tyres

1500 With Three Rail Gearbox (Early Type)

These can obviously alter the overall gearing considerably, so it is an important feature of any intended
conversion. Again some applied thought before you start may save you time and money later on.

Use the 1500 flywheel and clutch cover with the 7.25 x 10 spline clutch plate.

Clutch
6 1/2 Clutch (See accessories catalogue for notes on flywheels)
This is fitted to all models prior to the 1500. The supply of the spares for this size is now difficult,
especially when looking for uprated specifications. Use new standard parts for an uprated road car
and for racing, please contact us, where we may be able to assist by using the larger type clutch.

7 1/4 Clutch (See accessories catalogue for notes on flywheels)


For a 1500cc road car the standard clutch is adequate although for hard driving/competition the
unit can be uprated. The standard plate is recessed into the flywheel, this recess must be
machined away for a flat faced type of clutch to be used, we are able to supply which is capable
of covering up to 125 bhp.

Close Ratio Gearbox


3 Rail Type Gearbox (Reverse is next to 1st Gear).
There are a few variations on this range and some gears cannot be interchanged from model to model.

1500 With Single Rail Gearbox (Late Type)


Late Type (Single Rail Gearbox) To Early Engines
There is a problem here with the clutch plate, requiring a 6.5 x 23 spline plate, which is not
available, and also the rear crankshaft bush for the input shaft, which is available. It is possible to
use the Dolomite 1300/1500 flywheel, change the ring gear, to fit the old starter, and then use the
1500, 7.25 x 23 spline, clutch complete.

6 Cylinder Engine Swaps


No major problems, but you must change the gearbox to the Vitesse/GT6 type at the same time.
You will also require a GT6 radiator, bonnet and the interior to be corrected and the GT6 brakes to
help stop the car.
The GT6/Vitesse gearbox is a close ratio unit against the standard Spitfire unit. One problem
though is that the input shaft is incorrect in length and would require to be re-machined. We offer
this in the close ratio gearbox unit supplied on exchange. The unit is also fitted with larger input
and layshaft bearings for longer life.

Engine Variations (Continued)

Twin GT Round Box System

GT6/Vitesse & 2000 Saloons To 2.5 Litre

Although this sports system with its twin round silencers and large bore acoustic chrome tail pipes
has a quieter exhaust note - especially useful on long journeys, it is still just as effective a
performance exhaust system.

1)

On engines after 1972, a change of crankshaft and pistons is all that is required. On
GT6 models the sump must be retained and modified to clear con-rod numbers 1 and 2.

2)

On engines prior to 1972, it is best to obtain a complete 2.5 unit and install, as the
cylinder head will not accept the increased stroke.

For both of the above, it is necessary for the rear engine plate and flywheel to come from the same
source as the gearbox. If on GT6/Vitesse the fuel injection is being used then a pre-engaged type starter
motor must be used. See page 62 for our range of pre-engaged geared high-torque starter motors.
Even the TR7 8/16 valve 2 litre engines can be installed but would require a special hand made exhaust
manifold to clear the chassis frame. Gearbox would be standard GT6 with Dolomite 1850 bellhousing,
although this would require some adaptation as to the position of the assembly in the body/ chassis.
Please dont forget, before increasing the power output and speed of any vehicle, you should
ensure that your brakes, steering, chassis etc... can cope with the modifications and a rollover bar
is a very sensible investment... for all open top sports cars.

Engine Balancing
With all Triumph engines this is very worthwhile both in general rebuild or competition use. The
rotating components are all balanced to reduce any engine vibrations in two operations. The
crankshaft, front pulley/extension, flywheel, and clutch cover are all bolted together and spun-up
to find, and remove, the in-balance point. The con-rods are balanced end-to-end and the pistons
are then balanced to each other.
The end result is that the vibration point usually felt at 2800-3500 rpm is removed or reduced to
insignificant levels. This vibration point could also reappear at the 5600 - 6500 rpm range, so it is
important to remove the problem and therefore improve the engines reliability.

Engine Tuning
All the Triumph small 4 cylinder engines produce reasonable power with flexibility and reliability.
The correct order for engine performance improvement is as follows - which is not the same for
all other engine designs.
Later in the performance section we have laid out the order of our PlusPac conversion suggestions
that give you value for money steps, they are all designed for installation as a bolt on kit to an
otherwise standard engine in good condition.
PlusPacs are not mandatory steps, but they are the most logical way of obtaining improved
performance without wasting money. The order can be amended as to your final stage required,
as long as you are prepared to accept varying degrees of improvement if the whole conversion is
not being fitted at one time.
A)
B)
C)
D)

Sports air filters, extractor manifold and silencer system.


Carburation enlarged or changed, as model requires.
Modified cylinder head, to improve the gas flow efficiency and economy through the engine.
Performance profile camshaft to allow the engine to produce improved power at higher RPM.

If you prefer to install the camshaft or cylinder head in a different order, then the power increase
will be altered and the full potential of the component may not be realised until its associated
component is installed. On some models the installation of Weber carburettors at an early stage
can be very worthwhile if you are contemplating carrying out a full conversion later. We list the
recommended sizes to be used for each model, there is not normally any benefit in going larger
than this unless the car is used for outright competition use where the top-end power can be
improved with the obvious loss of low speed tractability.
The engine can be improved easily, but do not forget to also look at the rest of the car to make
sure that the road holding/braking is going to be adequate to cope with the new performance.

Exhaust System
Sports Exhaust Manifold

K&N Sports Air Filters


K&N filters with their advanced filtration system, are acknowledged as being one of the most
efficient air filters in production, and are essential for fast road and competition work. They use
the suspended oil system of filtering that allows the engine to breathe properly. The elements must
be cleaned and re-oiled, normally after approx. 12 to 15000 miles, using the correct fluids or they
will clog up impairing breathing.

SU Carburettors
If maximum power from SUs is required, there have been a number of articles (see Books & Manuals) about
how to flow these carburettors and, if followed carefully, will allow them to perform much better at high RPM.
For road use, it is beneficial to replace the butterfly with the plain type, these are available from stock. In
some cases the fitting of 0.100 jets and needles to HS4 carburettors can improve petrol/air mixture for
maximum performance, this is usually only required when used for racing.

948/1147cc
These engines were fitted with twin HS2 carburettors (except Herald models which had Solex).
These can be retained, although for improved mid and top end power the increase to HS4 11/2
carbs, as fitted to all later Spitfire 1500 models, is worthwhile, but the inlet manifold must be
changed for the TT1358A - which will also suit Stromberg 150CDs.

1300cc HS2 (1.25)


The twin HS2 carburettors are adequate (just) for 1300 engines, but if good performance is required then
use the HS4 carburettors. The HS2 can be usable up to PlusPac B (see Stage Tuning) but would be the
limiting factor after that stage. For some race regulations it is necessary for these to be retained, if so,
there must be a lot of work carried out to the internals to achieve maximum power and air flow.

1500cc HS4 (1.50)


The HS4 when fitted to the 1500 cars can handle more power up to the PlusPac C (see Stage Tuning)
conversion adequately and be reliable, but not with the Waxstat jets, without there being any major
loss in torque/ power. Check the carburettor build number carefully before ordering any parts.

Needles
See accessories catalogue for use of alternative needles.

Grose Jets (Part Number GAC9201X)


Grose-jets, with their modern technology dont stick open like the old needle and valve units. Jets
are sold individually.

Waxstat Jets
These jets can give problems on late 1500 models in hot weather/town use as they tend to weaken
off the mixture too much when hot and dont allow a good idle, this can be corrected in two ways,
new waxstat jets or, our conversion kit, TT1459, to normal fixed jets that will cure the problem.

Weber Carburettors & Linkage


Carburettors
A single DCOE carburettor arrangement is for customers who require a substantial performance increase
without the drawbacks of a twin carburettor set up. It is ideal for a road car, where a power increase
would be appreciated but absolute maximum power output is not necessary.
1300 models should use the 40 carburettor for all applications. For 1500 models used for
road/sprint work you can use a single 40 or 45 depending on performance required, for twin
fitment use 40s. Racing 1500s can use a pair of 45s but will lose low speed torque.

The fitting of an extractor manifold is the first step to improve power output. They improve exhaust
gas flow allowing the engine to breathe far more efficiently. Our large bore 4-2-1 design tubular
manifolds are produced using mandrel bending equipment to give full diameter pipe bends.

Linkage Kits

Sports Exhaust System

Standard Linkage

All our TriumphTune exhaust systems are of the straight through design for the efficient extraction
of gases with optimum back pressure for maximum performance. All systems are supplied with
clips and mountings but when being used with the standard down pipe an adaptor is required.

This direct acting linkage uses the standard throttle cable and comes with new brackets that bolt
on to the carburettor. (see accessories catalogue for full details).

We supply two main types of throttle linkage for Weber carburettors.

High Flow Linkage

Twin GT Oval Box System


This very efficient exhaust system has two oval silencers and 1.75 diameter chrome tailpipes that
give a real sporty exhaust note, but is within the UK noise regulations.

These are ready assembled quadrant kits which can be used with single or twin carbs accelerator
cable. (see accessories catalogue for full details).
An extra water pipe will also be required to reconnect the inlet manifold water hoses.

bottom-out. Remove the top three threads from the centre main by counter boring to put the load
deeper into block. Remove all excess flashings from inside the cylinder block but do NOT grind any
machined areas.

This standard type single carburettor manifold allows a deeper filter to be used, but is not very efficient
in distributing the gases to obtain maximum flow. Supplied complete with linkage as a ready to fit kit.

Steel centre main caps can be used, but are not normally required. It is possible - especially for racing
use, to increase the oil supply to the centre main as this in turn supplies the con-rods. Drill out the
feed hole to 5/16, entry is made from oil gallery end. The distributor bush will also require removal.
Ensure all oil ways are clear not only of deposits, but also of excess swarf from production machining.

Cross-Over Manifold (See accessories catalogue for full details)

Oil Pump

The cross-over manifold is our own proven TriumphTune design that produces much better
distribution of gases for good road work.

Always use a new oil pump, the later angled pump gives improved pick-up and preferably improve
its capacity - especially for competition work, by carrying out the following:

Long Tract Manifold (See accessories catalogue for full details)
The twin manifolds are preferable as they produce better mid/top end power. The overall length is
9.5, including the carburettor/manifold, but not the filter. These are designed for 40s but for full
race 1500s, the 45s can give better maximum power.

3)
4)

Reduce the end float of the spindle/base plate, this will then restrict pressure loss.
Make sure that the rotor clearances are as small as possible, as again this will
improve the pumps performance.
Always check that the rotor edges are smooth to reduce the chances of them picking
up on the top or bottom plates.
Check that the new pump outlet aligns with the cylinder block inlet aperture, amend
as necessary.

Oil Pressure Relief Valve

This was designed to fit the Dolomite 1300/1500 and Toledo range, when servo brakes are fitted,
as they have a restriction on the length available, overall length is 6.5 carburettor/manifold.

The valve itself is recommended to be seated into the block, so that the oil will not leak past easily.
The pressure spring can be increased to improve the overall oil pressure, especially when an oil
cooler is being used. If the TriumphTune uprated spring is fitted make sure that there are no extra
packing washers also installed.

Engine Preparation (4 Cylinder Engines)

Crankshaft

When carrying out any engine rebuild, it is very important to use an accurate workshop manual,
this should be a genuine version as these tend to give the various model changes and the correct
torque settings. When building any engine, the only correct way is to make sure that the area being
used for assembly is clean, not to mention the components themselves prior to assembly, so that
there is no chance of unwanted contamination getting into the engine.

If you are re-using your old crankshaft it is recommended the oilways to be cleaned out properly
- a pipe cleaner is very good for this. If the plugs are removed use a thread sealant when refitting.
Tuftride hardening of the crankshaft is highly recommended to improve the life of the unit at a
reasonable cost, this can be for road or competition use.

Short Tract Manifold (See accessories catalogue for full details)

Full engine preparation will include some or all of the following modifications, depending on your
own requirements.
Here we shown some formulae which are useful when modifying an engine.
Swept Volume = r2h = 3.142 x (1/2 bore diameter) 2 x stroke
Cubic Capacity = swept volume x no. of cylinders
Compression Ratio = swept volume + chamber volume
(Chamber volume where chamber volume includes gasket, piston (if dished) and amount
of deck height as well).
All dimensions should be in centimetres, though of course inches are a more popular
measurement in the U.S.A.

Cylinder Block & Components


The block must be cleaned thoroughly before any machining work is carried out and then again afterwards.
The cleaning should cover the oilways and waterways to make sure that the fluids will flow correctly.

Oilways
The cleaning of the oilways will require the removal of the screwed plugs in the engine block and
when re-assembling use a suitable thread sealant. The machining left-overs or fazes, need to be
removed whilst this work is carried out.

Waterways
Make sure that all deposits are removed to ensure adequate water flow, this is essential if a larger
capacity is being used.

Cylinder Bores
When carrying out re-boring work make sure that the piston suppliers recommendations are
complied with. For competition use, the clearances may be increased up to 0.005, depending on
the piston manufacturers recommendations.

Thrust Washers
To ensure that the rearmost washers cannot revolve or move during arduous applications, they can
either be doweled into position, one on each side of the block, or, machine the rear of the block
and rear bearing cap to take a full thrust ring (like the 4 cylinder TRs use).

Main Bearing Caps


The standard cap does not normally require any change although the smoothing of the surface will
tend to strengthen the unit. Polish, smooth and shot-peen the caps to relieve surface stress and
reshape to give a uniform cross section. For hard road/racing use, fit 1/4 longer high tensile bolts
(6 of BH607241X reqd.) to the centre main cap and bottom-tap the holes to ensure they do not

When Tuftriding is carried out, the crankshaft must then be re-machined or polished back to the
correct journal size. Normally the journals are micro polished to give a good oil surface.

1147
The standard crankshaft really should be looked after for all road/modified cars by balancing and
tuftriding, or use a steel billet crank for competition use.

1300
There are two types of bearing journal diameters available. Spitfire MkIIIs use a smaller diameter
1.625 - MkIV and later have 1.875 diameter.

1500
For fast road use, the standard bearings are okay. For racing applications, use the MGB bearings
(AEB4512 at +0.010 size) which then require a crank-shaft regrind to 1.8665 - 1 .867 diameter.
These bearings are easily fitted into the journal and only require the edge of the tag filing to locate into
the con-rod properly, use a radiused edge on the crankshaft grind. The rotating assembly must be
balanced and the use of tuftride hardening is also recommended.
For racing use, the crank can be micro polished an extra 0.001 under-size for more clearance to
assist in extra oil supply to surfaces. The main bearing oil supply holes can be tear drop shaped in
the direction of rotation, again to assist oil supply, really only needed for sprint/race engines.

Flywheel
Lightening of the flywheel to reduce the rotating weight will enable the engine to pick up and rev
easier which is highly recommended for all fast road cars. This work is usually carried out to your
own unit at the same time as balancing.
Alternatively for 1500 engines, fit one of our brand new light-weight steel flywheels, part number
TKC1840X, that only weigh approx. 4kg (9lbs). This serious reduction in reciprocating mass being
accelerated/ decelerated is probably equivalent to 10-20bhp depending on state of engine tune.

Con Rods (See image on page 10)


For normal use, the standard con-rods are maintained, although they can be lightened to improve
the strength (as illustrated). Unfortunately, the cost of us carrying out this modification is
prohibitive as a service because of the labour time required.
Alternatively, fit a set of steel billet type (part number 146454X). When rebuilding an engine always
use new con rod bolts, replace the little end bushes and ream to size.
A)
B)
C)

Check the con rods for twist and bend defects, and also the big end for an out-ofround condition, replace any that are faulty.

Pistons
For racing use, there are a number of different sizes on some models, which require special
treatment of the block and clearances, check carefully before re-boring. Pistons can be radiused
on the lower edges to assist in reducing bore problems, also the whole unit can be polished after
ensuring that the heights have been equalised. For a road car the standard piston is perfectly okay
as long as a solid skirt type is used. We would not recommend the use of a race piston for road
use, unless it was originally designed for both applications.

Use standard type of oversize pistons, up to 0.060 available. If 4 ring type has to be fitted, use only the top three rings.

Cylinder Head & Components

1500

On all Triumph engines, the cylinder head must be gas flowed properly to maximise the
performance and efficiency from the engine.

For any competition or fast road engine, only use a solid skirt three ring piston. Unfortunately,
Hepolite powermax pistons are no longer available, but we can supply forged pistons. Alternatively,
you can use TR6 pistons which are +0.040 as standard, or 0.060 @ + 20. This piston is very sturdy
and quite light in weight as they are shorter in pin to deck height. It is necessary to machine the
block to suit (approx. 0.0165) these pistons, this will then give you zero piston height, then counterbore the cylinder block as original, if the later type of head is gasket is being used. Counter-bore
details are 3.1 75 x 0.030 deep. Pistons will require 0.020 removed above the top ring and
radiused to the piston top so as to give clearance with the head gasket.

Piston Rings
Before final installation check that the width of ring is correct for your piston. Modify the ring ends after
the gaps have been set, so that the edges do not dig into the bores. End gaps should be .015-.025.

Oil Seals
The standard oil seals, front and rear, should be replaced at any rebuild. The rear unit should be
centralised carefully to stop oil leaks at high engine speeds.

Push Rods
The standard push rod is adequate for road use, however, we would recommend using tubular
type for sprint/racing, they are also stronger and are 0.050 shorter than standard to suit high
compression cylinder heads. Also essential if using roller rockers.

Cam Followers
When changing the camshaft, you must fit new cam followers, otherwise your new cam will not
last very long. The amount of weight that the camshaft has to lift each time restricts the revving
capabilities of the engine, therefore the use of the lighter cam followers (with oil drain hole) is
recommended. The lighter variety will also reduce loading on the camshaft lobes for extended life.

Special Note For 1147 Models

Special Note For 948/1147 Cylinder Heads


The cylinder head on the (948/1147) 6 port engines has been fitted with a number of different size
valves during the production run. The Herald models were always fitted with a larger valve than
the Spitfire models, although these were also of the slide in type of valve cap (not recommended).
All the modifications are based using the largest valves and to the flow rig designed chamber/ports
profile. Our heads are supplied ready assembled with new valves, TT springs and new guides.
Work on the cylinder head centres around making the best diameter of the inlet port to suit and
give maximum power potential. We have found that increasing the size of the inlet valve to 1.475
and very careful flowing of chamber/valve throat area will produce good torque and allow top-end
breathing for sprint/racing use. The increase in exhaust valve size (competition use only) improves
the flow of the port for maximum power.
The cylinder head modifications have been designed using a flow-rig to obtain the maximum from
the head casting. Valve springs fitted to all our cylinder heads are the best uprated road
specification. They are designed to allow the maximum lift from our performance camshaft profiles
without excessive loads on the cam-lobes.
Spring retainers must be checked (especially the two part version for cracks). Alloy types are
available to save weight whilst still being strong enough for all applications. Valves, these are
recommended to be gas flowed in the slim design, as this will improve the efficiency of the
modified cylinder head substantially.

Rocker Gear (General)


For a road car the standard rocker gear only requires minor alterations. For competition use or
maximum power then the use of the roller rockers will be a major benefit. By reducing the weight
of the moving components in the rocker gear, followers, valves, caps etc. and also the resistance
of the rockers, the rev range can be improved without increasing the loading on the camshaft.

Valves
TriumphTune reshaped valves are manufactured in the very hard wearing stainless steel EN214 material.

Bronze Valve Guides


These were always the small diameter type follower, it is therefore necessary when modifying this
engine for these to be changed to the later type by boring the block to suit. Bore the block to
0.8002 > 0.8009 for the follower which is 0.799 > 0.800. The block bores are angled slightly,
so please notify the machine shop when arranging the work.

Our bronze alloy valve guides are for improved reliability and longer life, especially when being
used under duress. Highly recommended for all heads and especially for any competition engine.
Specially reshaped for improved flow.

Valve Springs

Roller Rocker Conversion

It is essential to check the springs for coil binding or being solid at maximum lift. Our TriumphTune
valve springs are specially made for our high-lift cams. Remove lower spring collars if TriumphTune
springs are used, as they are no longer required.

This specially manufactured assembly is designed to operate valves with less resistance and with
more efficiency. The power increase with the use of these rockers is approximately an extra
10bhp, and the power band can also be extended. We have found it preferable to maintain 108
> 110 peak to peak centres on cam profiles.
The steel rockers are made with needle roller inserts and have solid spacers already fitted. The
end roller tips are specially made in high quality steel for long life. The roller rockers are also
designed to give a higher lift ratio of 1.65:1 against the standard of 1.5:1. The design is also
specially strengthened so as not to deflect at any time through the operating sequence.
This conversion necessitates the use of our high pressure external rocker oil feed kit (part number
TT1226).

Alloy Valve Spring Caps


Standard caps are adequate in strength for all applications, but our TriumphTune light alloy caps
reduce valve loading and therefore wear on cam lobes. Weight saving is approximately 25%.

Rocker Arm Action


The rocker arm is designed to move across the valve tip in a wiping motion, this leaves a witness
mark on the stem top. To be certain your engine geometry is correct, remove the rocker arm and
apply some engineers blue to the valve tip and rotate the engine through one revolution with the
rockers correctly adjusted and the engine in its final specification. Remove the rockers and the
valve tip will show the offset of the rocker geometry.

When fitting this conversion it is essential for the valve lift to be checked carefully, to ensure that
there is at least a total of 0.040 clearance between the valve spring coils, at full lift.
1)
2)
3)

On installation Check Maximum Valve Lift to ensure adequate clearance of valve springs.
Before starting the engine, the clearance of the rocker cover must also be checked.
Check the push-rods for flexing and replace with tubular type if necessary.

Centre
High Pressure External Rocker Oil Feed Kit (TT1226)
This is correct equally offset, so no excessive wear on either side of the guide will be found.

Manifold Side
If the mark is predominantly on this side, then the push rods and/or the pedestals must be
shortened to correct this. With the wear on this side there will be excessive loading on the valve
guide that will cause premature failure.

The cause of most failures in the rocker gear is the lack of oil, this kit will overcome the problem
for all cars, road or race. This specially designed high pressure external rocker oil feed kit
improves oil pressure at the rocker shaft by giving a constant oil supply directly from the cylinder
head oil passage. This kit is essential if roller rockers are fitted.

Rocker Side
If it is to this side slightly, then this is no problem. But, if it is a long way off, then you can fit a
pedestal spacer shim (TT1910) to compensate, or alternatively, fit longer push rods.

Alternatively use TriumphTune

These are available at a set depth to allow for a nominal skim of the cylinder head. The shim is
specially designed to allow for the oil supply to the rear rocker pedestal.

When fitting any new spring make sure that the leaves are well greased, so as to improve spring
action and its working life. On the GT6 models the standard spring is specially made with a thicker
lower leaf to cover the extra loading capabilities of the car.

lighten standard rockers, its
also useful to polish them.

Rocker Shaft

For the best road holding it is necessary for the camber to be set in negative, i.e: the top of the
wheels pointing in towards the centre of the car.
In standard condition the spring is set to give positive camber which makes for carrying full loads
easily, but this is not the average running condition. We therefore set the spring so that it gives slight
negative camber for the average running condition, which will therefore give you much improved
road holding with the only restriction being that when fully loaded the car will be even lower.

Although the standard rocker shaft is strong enough for most applications, the tuftride hardening
process will provide improved reliability as well as being less resistant to wear. Before fitting any
shaft, check that the end-plugs are in position.

On some models there have been recommendations by some experts that the Herald/Vitesse
spring is changed for the MkIV spring. This can be fitted but it does not allow the carrying of any
sensible loads, due to the spring leaves/rating not being designed for the extra body weight.

Rocker Arm Spacers

On most models when the spring is worn out the car attains negative camber, but the spring does not
have any strength so therefore you are normally running on the shocker bump stops, which does not help
the road holding. For this reason we offer an exchange service where the unit is repaired, re-tensioned
and set to either standard height or to negative at 1-3 for a road car or 3-4 negative for race use.

These solid spacers replace the side tension springs and allow the rocker arms to rotate easier,
thereby reducing the loading, whilst also keeping the arms more centrally in position.

High Capacity Fuel Pumps, Filters & Regulator


The standard fuel pump may not be able to maintain adequate fuel pressure at higher engine speeds.
The range of Facet high pressure electric fuel pumps however, suit all modified applications, the position
in the car where the pump is mounted will determine which model is used.
The cylindrical interrupter pumps can be fitted to the front or rear of the car and can pull fuel up
to 18 inches from the bottom of the fuel tank.
The cuboid solid state pumps must be mounted close to the tank and below the fuel level, the installation
instructions must be adhered to. They can pull fuel up to 12 from the bottom of the fuel tank and the
filter union must be fitted to the suction side of the pump. Both types of pump are supplied in negative
earth only, they come complete with mounting bobbins and unions, you will have to re-plumb the fuel
system around the new pump using a combination of standard pipes and hoses.
Fine-tuning of the fuel pressure can be easily achieved by installing a pressure regulator, we can
supply either a simple regulator or a filter regulator with a replaceable filter. We have the road
competition version with 1/4" and 5/16 connections and the larger competition version with all
5/16connections. With safety in mind, we also supply a inertia fuel cut off switch, so that in the
event of an accident, fuel delivery is cut-off.

Tuning the Triumph Engine


The order of priority when tuning the 1300/1500 engine is to first improve gas flow through the
engine before altering the camshaft profile. The engine can be made to produce reasonable power
with reliability if the cooling is improved and the unit modified to run safely at higher revs. An oil
cooler is essential for all engines.
With regard to improving performance, on UK & European cars the first modification is the fitment
of K&N filters, which when combined with the sports exhaust becomes the first stage of tuning,
this will produce an increase of approximately 10bhp at the wheels.
Breathing improvements are always most important on this engine, so the next item is a gas flowed
cylinder head, followed by a change of camshaft profile. When carrying out any of the latter
modifications, the bottom end (crankshaft etc...) must be checked to ensure its condition is sound. If
renovating the bottom end of the engine, the crankshaft may be re-ground and balanced, together
with careful re-assembly of the unit, a good, powerful engine with reliability may be obtained.
As well as lightened flywheels and other products, we also offer a full balancing service for crankshafts,
con rods and flywheels, and tuftriding for cranks. Please phone your nearest branch for details.

Performance Camshafts
Camshafts are available as reprofiled/exchange units or new, please state preference when ordering.

Side Draught Carburettor Conversion Kits

Camshaft Journal Diameters

A twin choke side-draught carburettor greatly increases power in the mid to upper rev range. This can be
improved further when the breathing through the engine has been enhanced by camshaft and cylinder head
modifications. These conversions greatly improve throttle response for fast road or competition cars. For
further details please contact your local Moss branch. Carburettors can be jetted to your requirements.

On Spitfire models there are two types of camshafts fitted.

Single Weber Carburettor Conversion Kit


This kit fulfils the requirement for a single carburettor in any application, in road use this set up
has proved to be very worthwhile. The Weber carburettor gives good power throughout the rev
range once it has been properly adjusted to suit the customers own installation. The kit consists
of the carburettor, ready jetted for a standard car with sports exhaust, inlet manifold and linkage.
TTK1459
Single Weber 45 DCOE (Fast Road Jetting)

Twin Weber Carburettor Conversion Kit


For maximum power and performance, twin side-draught carburettors are the best option. The
improvement in mid to top end breathing is considerable and very noticeable, even on an
otherwise standard engine. The jetting may need some adjustment, depending on the customers
own engine specification. The following kits are supplied with TT1350 inlet manifolds, two
carburettors with size 28 chokes jetted for road use and the necessary linkage.

Small Camshaft Journal


For engines with replaceable camshaft bearings, VPC978, are fitted into the cylinder block, as
fitted to 1147 & 1286cc engines to engine number FH25000E.

Large Camshaft Journal


For all other models, where the camshaft runs directly in the cylinder block.
Care must be taken to ensure that installation is carried out correctly and that all components work
together or you will not get the expected power output or reliability. It is essential that the new cam
is fitted with new followers as they mate with the lobe that they run on and should never be used
on another lobe.
Lightened and tuftrided followers wear more slowly and put less load on high lift cam lobes, they
also feature a drainage hole. Another essential is the special lubricant that must be used with all
new cams, it provides vital lubrication during initial starting and protects your cam from extreme
wear in its first minute of use.
Dont forget the cam timing degree disc, TT2929, you will need this to set your cam timing.

Camshafts Explained
Remember that with a standard capacity engine the power band will be effective higher up the rev
range than would be the case with an enlarged capacity unit. All camshaft profiles must use TT
valve springs, and we strongly recommend you fit a duplex chain kit. Be aware that road and race
cams mean just that. Road cams will not produce any results whatsoever on the race track - rainy
days excepted!

Blueprint
Ideal for standard class competition.

Road 83 & 89
These are a very good stage 1 camshaft suitable for road cars equipped with SU HS4 carburettors.

Bristol 0117 923 2523 Manchester 0161 480 6402

TECHNICAL ADVICE

Fast Road 83
TT1226
For owners who, as a result of a fair amount of town driving, require a very good all round profile
for use with either SU or Weber carburettors.

Fast Road
Best used with Webers, recommended more for open road driving, where the engine may be used
more at high revs.

Fast Road 89
A new profile for open road use with Weber carburettors giving more mid to top end power.

Sprint 83 & 90
Although these cams can be used with modified road engines, they are primarily intended for track work.

All Race Cams


Suitable only for full race engines where maximum power - not tractability, is required. For full
details please contact your local Moss branch.

Modified Cylinder Heads


Work on the cylinder head centres around obtaining the optimum size of inlet port to suit the
application thus giving maximum power potential. We have found that increasing the size of the
inlet valve combined with very careful flowing of the chamber and valve throat area will produce
a reasonable amount of torque and allow top end breathing for sprint and racing use. An increase
in exhaust valve size improves the flow of the port for maximum power. All heads are supplied
ready assembled with new valve springs and guides.
The stage 2 head, using standard diameter reshaped valves, is ideal for a mildly modified engine,
with either a standard or fast road cam. Anything beyond this type of modification would require
the large inlet valve stage 3 head, with its improved flow using TriumphTune valves and further
modifications to the chamber design.
For competition use the stage 4 head, with large inlet and large exhaust valves and special shaping
of the chambers, is essential. All our heads are built with bronze alloy valve guides. For full
competition engines, heads can also be supplied with formed or triple cut valve seats, as used in
all full racing engines - to special order only.
Normally stock heads are finished with a compression ratio of 9.65:1, though the ratio can be
altered to the customers own specification. If a full competition engine is being produced with pop
up pistons etc..., cylinder head modifications can be made to obtain the required compression
ratio. We will need to know details of your cylinder bore size, piston and camshaft type, to enable
us to arrive at the correct compression ratio.
Note: If there is a shortage of original heads, it may require that the work is carried out on your
own unit. All exchange cylinder heads must be like for like. Heads can be modified to a higher
specification, please contact us for full details.

Uprated Rocker Gear & Cam Followers


All cars can benefit from a replacement tuftrided rocker shaft, they will resist wear and breakage
especially when using high revs.
Note: The tuftrided hardened shaft must be thoroughly purged of the salts used in the hardening
process, before it is fitted to the engine.
Before fitting any rocker shaft it is essential to make sure that the end plugs are in position. The
friction and the rocker side loads normally associated with the standard rocker gear can be
reduced and the location made more positive, by fitting the three piece steel spacer set instead of
the standard shaft springs. Pedestal shims are for use with standard rockers in conjunction with a
higher compression cylinder head, enabling the correct rocker angles to be obtained. They have a
nominal thickness of 0.040 and are supplied individually.
Roller rockers are designed to operate the valves with less resistance and more efficiency. The
power increase with the use of these rockers is approximately an extra 10 bhp, the power band
can also be extended. It is preferable to maintain 108 to 110 peak to peak centres on cam
profiles if these rockers are fitted. The steel rockers are made with needle roller inserts and have
solid spacers ready fitted, the end roller tips are made in high quality steel for long life. The roller
rockers are also designed to give a higher lift ratio, 1.65:1 against the standard ratio of 1.5:1. The
design is also specially strengthened against deflection at any time in the operating sequence.
TT1408 valve springs must be used with this rocker assembly.

Important Note For 1147 & 1300cc Models


Roller rockers are not suitable for 1147cc engines and, on 1300 models valve to piston clearances
must be checked when using high lift profiles.

1500 Engine Cylinder Block Modifications


Engine Block
All work must be carried out in clean conditions if reliability is to be expected. Specialist work that may
be required includes polishing and smoothing main bearing caps, plus shot peening to relieve surface
stress, they can then be reshaped to give a uniform cross section. For racing use, fit 1/4 longer high
tensile bolts to the centre main cap, bottom tap the holes to ensure the bolts do not bottom out.
Remove the top three threads from the centre main by counter boring, to spread the load deeper into
the block. Remove excess casting flash from inside the block, do not grind any machined areas. Steel
centre main caps can be supplied, but are not normally required, it is possible for racing to increase
oil supply to the centre main, as this in turn supplies the connecting rods. Drill out the feed hole to
5/16, entry is made from the oil gallery end. The distributor bush will also require removal. Ensure all
oil ways are clear, not only of deposits, but also of swarf from production machining.

Pistons
For any competition or fast road engine, use only solid skirt three ring pistons. Moss can offer
standard production pistons, plus over sizes, or alternatively Triumph TR6 pistons, standard TR6
pistons may be used in a +.040 bore 1500 block, +0.020 in a +0.060 over bored block. The TR6
piston is very sturdy and quite light, as it is shorter in pin to deck height. It is necessary to machine
the block, approx. 0.0165, to suit these pistons, this then gives zero piston height. Then counter bore
the block as original, if the later type of head gasket is being used. Counter bore dimensions are
3.175 x 0.030 deep. Each piston will require 0.020 to be removed above the top ring and then
radiused to the piston top to give clearance with the head gasket, if using zero deck height.

Crankshaft
In engines for fast road use, standard bearings are adequate. For racing use MGB bearings, part
no. AEB4512, +0.010 oversize, which necessitates regrinding the crank to 1.8665 - 1.867
diameter. These bearings easily fit the journals and only require the edge of the tags to be filed to
locate in the con rod properly, use a radiused edge on the crankshaft grind. The rotating assembly
must be balanced, tuftride hardening is also recommended. For racing, the crank can be micro
polished an extra 0.001 under size for clearance, thereby assisting in oil supply to the surfaces.
The main bearing oil supply holes can be tear drop shaped in the direction of rotation, again to
assist oil supply, this is only really needed for sprint and race engines.

Connecting Rods
Always rebuild an engine using new con rod bolts, preferably higher grade material, and renew
little end bushes, reaming to size.

Triumph reduced the power of the 1296cc MkIII Spitfire unit from 75 bhp to 63 bhp with the
introduction of the MkIV Spitfire in November 1970. The problem was that US legislation had
commenced its power erosion process which was to bottom out on Californian versions of the MkIV
at 48 bhp, in the quest for pollution reduction. Luckily, the solution was at hand; the cylinder block
was modified and fitted with a longer throw crankshaft which increased the capacity to 1493 cc.
Thus the Spitfire reached the end of its engine development when the 1500 was introduced in
December 1974. At the same time, the final drive ratio was changed from 3.89 to 3.63:1 to take
full advantage of the extra torque now available, though the power only rose to 71 bhp. The 1500
took its final bow in August 1980 in this form. UK and European versions had remained largely
unaffected by Federal anti-pollution laws. British and European factory supported competition cars
used only the 1147 cc unit (competing in the up to 1200cc production sports class) and the
Competition department closed down in 1966. Despite this however, North American Spitfires
achieved amazing successes with 1147, 1296 and 1493 variations right up to 1980.

Cylinder Blocks - use of correct head gasket


A cylinder block can be identified by the inclusion or absence of counter bore recesses cut into its
top face around each cylinder bore. Blocks without these counter bores are pre engine number
FH25000 and must use the gasket set AJM1149. Cylinder blocks with the counter bore recesses
will be engine number FH25001 onwards for 1300 cars and FM28001 onwards for the 1500
version. Failure to observe these differences and the subsequent use of the incorrect gasket set
will result in the head gasket not sealing.

Gasket Sets
We supply two types of gasket sets for the Spitfire engine. The Conversion (bottom end) set is
suitable for both the 1300 & 1500 models and includes all gaskets necessary to re-build the
engine below the cylinder head gasket. The head gasket set comes in three forms depending on
engine no. (as mentioned in the preceding paragraph) and contains the gaskets required to service
the cylinder head. The two major crank oil seals are not included in any of the gasket sets and
should be purchased separately.

Engine Mountings
The following procedure is suggested when removing the engine:
On the side of the engine bay with the steering column in it, undo the mounting from the engine
(leaving the mounting and bracket on the car body). On the other side, undo the bracket from the
body, (leaving the mounting and bracket on the engine). The result will be:
A)
B)

You only undo the bits you can see and get at (have a look and you will understand).
Upon re-assembly, you dont tear the thread off the studs on the mountings as you try
to jam the engine down into the V cradle formed by the brackets.

Note: When the crankshaft has been reground (undersize), an oversize bearing set will be required
to suit. Be sure to check this BEFORE ordering bearings. Bearing sets that have been opened and
used to check the crank size will not be acceptable for exchange as this process invariably
damages the precision finished soft face of the bearing. This also applies to big end (con rod)
bearings.

'clean up' at the next oversize. Where performance is significant however, use the largest size
available because even a 0.040" bore oversize will produce a measurable power difference.

Timing chain stretch or tensioner breakage are not unknown on the simplex (single row) chain
and gear installation in the 1500 engine. The timing gear set can easily be modified when chain
or tensioner renewal becomes necessary, to a more robust duplex design. Duplex timing gear
sets include a twin row chain, modified timing gears and wider spring tensioner.
A 1500 engine may be modified only by using all of the components listed here.
Actually, the components are sourced from the 1500 engines very close (in component design &
dimensions) bigger brother, the Triumph large car model PE156 engine, as fitted in the Triumph
TR5 Pi & TR6 Pi.

The fitting method of duplex timing gears is as per the original installation. The factory workshop manual
should be consulted where applicable to ensure the engine valve timing is correctly maintained.

Distributor Drive & Pedestal Clearance


When fitted, a running clearance or end float of 0.003 to 0.007 (0.005 +/- 0.002) is required
between the distributor drive spindle and gear and the distributor pedestal housing.
Too much end float and the drive will chatter between the bush in the block and the pedestal
housing lower running face. Too little clearance and it may bind and damage its driving gear on
the cam shaft. Either of these conditions will result in rapid and excessive wear.
The clearance is adjusted by varying the quantity of gaskets fitted between the base of the
pedestal housing and the cylinder block. The gasket, (part number 104939), has a nominal
thickness of 0.006. However, the gasket thickness should be checked for each application.
To check the clearance when components have been replaced, the following procedure should be followed.

& 1500

2)

1300 To (e) FH25000E


3)
1300 To (e) FH25000E
4)

Install the drive in the cylinder block bush with a washer of known thickness on the
shaft between the base of the gear and the bush end face. The washer should be of
1/2 internal diameter to fit the shaft.
Fit the pedestal housing over the drive without any gaskets, using nuts to retain it.
Measure with feeler gauges all the way round the gap between the pedestal housing
and the cylinder block. The measurement should be noted.
Disassemble the pedestal housing and extract the drive with the known thickness
spacer washer from the cylinder block.
Calculate the existing clearance without gaskets by subtracting the dimension of
thickness of the spacer washer from the figure obtained with feeler gauges. This
figure should be a negative amount. Find the correct quantity of gaskets required to
obtain the running clearance of 0.003 to 0.007.

Example:

Gap measured with feelers
Subtract gap dimension from washer thickness
Add the thickness of gaskets (4 @ 0.006)

In the event of the difference between the gap and the known washer thickness being a positive
amount in excess of 0.003, remedial action will be required to reduce it. This can be achieved by
selective assembly using other drives or pedestal housings. If, even with new components, the
correct figure can not be obtained, the bush height in the cylinder block must be adjusted. Remove,
inspect for serviceable condition and refit the bush with a suitable thickness shim between its
mating face and the cylinder block.

distributor to pedestal
The bush should be either carefully driven out from below using a suitable spigoted drift, or pulled
out from above with a bushing extractor. With the bush replaced securely, the above end float
checking procedure should be adopted. The method of completing this job by fitting the distributor
drive and setting its timing is detailed in the workshop manual.

Curing Oil Consumption: (Plus easy Valve Spring Removal)
Excessive rocker shaft wear is a classic complaint about Triumph push rod engines. The rocker
feed kit is an effective (and easy to fit) solution to the problem. It works by piping oil directly from
a plug hole in the cylinder block main oil gallery up to the cylinder head, thereby maintaining a
higher pressure oil supply than standard. No drilling or tapping is required for installation.

CYLINDER HEAD

19

Remember when undoing a hose from the radiator to use two spanners; one to undo the tube nut
on the hose, the other to put on the hexagon of the radiator union to stop it turning with the nut.
Its surprising how easily a union can be twisted out of the radiator, rendering the item scrap.

If a rocker feed kit is fitted to the engine, an increase in oil consumption may be encountered. The
extra amount of lubricating oil flowing through the valve & rocker chamber, as supplied by the feed
kit, exaggerates any tendency for oil to be sucked down worn valve guides past worn valve stems.
The best solution is to fit new valves & guides, but this is not always on the top of the repair priority
list. To assist in the reduction of oil being sucked down the guides a method of sealing the valve
stems is required. The simple rubber rings that are used so successfully on some MG sports cars
engines - part number AEK113 (8 are required, one per valve stem), will service an engine. Each
seal fits on the valve stem above the valve guide but below the valve spring retaining cap.
Now the clever bit how to fit them without removing the cylinder head from the car. Remove
the rocker cover, rocker gear and the spark plugs. Cover the holes that the push rods come up
through so nothing can be dropped down into the engine. Turn the crankshaft so that number one
piston is at Bottom Dead Centre (BDC). Feed a length of clean, pliable rope down the spark plug
hole of number one cylinder, leaving a bit hanging out so you can retrieve it. Now carefully turn
the crankshaft clockwise by hand; resistance will be felt as the rising piston in number one cylinder
compresses the rope against the two valves in that cylinder, holding them against their seats.
The collets and spring caps of the valves in that cylinder can now be removed without the fear of
losing the valves down the bore. The valve stem oil seals can be fitted to the two valve stems
(perhaps new valve springs as well, while everything is apart). Once the valve stem oil seals, valve
spring caps and collets have been refitted to this first pair of valves satisfactorily, simply turn the
crank anti-clockwise to BDC, withdraw the rope and repeat the process on the remaining three
cylinders and three pairs of valves. Be honest, this tip saves the cost of a head gasket set!
To be sure that the rope has compressed sufficiently against the faces of the valves, attempt to
push the valves by hand (as if being acted on by the rockers) before removing the spring caps or
collets; this is the fail safe check. This method can be adopted anywhere as it does not require the
use of compressed air, special tools or luck.

1500cc Triumph PE94 Engine Colour Schemes

Oil Cooler

The 1500 engine was always black. The only component of the engine which differed from this
rule was the rocker cover, which for anything other than North American markets was always
silver (in America, a red rocker cover signified a car built to comply with Californian emissions
regulations, whereas light blue indicated compliance with the marginally less severe general or
Federal regulations. Ancillary items on the 1500 engine remained in the colour scheme or finish
given to them by their respective manufacturers.

Note: See accessories catalogue for full range of oil coolers & fittings (including non-drain filters).

Oil leakage from the Rocker Cover


Do you suffer with a permanent puddle of oil in the recess around the mounting flange of your
rocker cover? If so, it is either because you have spilt oil when topping up the engine, or the oil
fairy has been around.
This malevolent character is the one that always drips oil onto an area that you have scrupulously
cleaned previously. The truth is that the oil is leaking from an unseen joint on your engine (unless
you do believe in bad fairies).
The items that create the oil puddle on the rocker cover are the oil filler cap and the sealing
washers under the fasteners holding the rocker cover. A quick look at the rocker cover oil filler
caps seal will eliminate one possible cause. If it is in any way perished, torn or otherwise
damaged, renew the cap and seal assembly (part no. GZC1400 for the chrome cap, or 138176 for
the silver painted item). The seal is important on two counts: it should not leak oil, nor should any
air be drawn into the engine past it. This is because the inlet manifold is connected directly to the
engine breather on the rocker cover.
The nuts or screws that retain the rocker cover are not quite so easy to attend to, unless of course
they are obviously loose or there are no sealing washers present. Over tightening the fasteners will
end up distorting the top of the rocker cover rather than curing the leak. The area of rocker cover
around the holes where the attachment studs pass should be inspected.
This area should be flat, so that a sealing washer can work effectively on it. If it is not flat, the
rocker cover should be removed from the engine, and the area around the stud hole dressed flat
with a hammer & block. (A suitable block or dolly to assist in the repair of an original, pressed steel
rocker cover would be a length of flat ended one inch round bar held vertically in a vice.) The rocker
cover can be placed over the bar with the stud hole concentric to the bar and dressed back to
shape with a smooth faced hammer. If care is exercised when hammering, the painted finish of
the rocker cover will not be damaged.
The latter repair scheme is only relevant to, as previously stated, original pressed steel rocker
covers. If a replacement alloy rocker cover is distorted in this area by over tightening, the cover
should be inspected for cracks and if none are present the sealing area could be re-machined. If
not, a replacement should be sought.

Points to Remember about Oil Coolers


If an oil cooler has just been fitted to a car, check the oil level in the sump and top up as necessary.
The oil cooler circuit increases the oil capacity of the engine by well over a pint. However, in future
when draining the engine to change the oil, note that the old oil will remain in the cooler circuit
unless both the radiator and hoses are removed from the car to upturn and empty them. Thus the
quantity of oil required to effect an oil change on a car with an oil cooler will still be the same as
that for a car without one.
To prevent over cooling of the oil in cold weather, tin foil can be used to temporarily cover the oil radiator,
in the same age old manner that it has always been used by people to cover the water radiator.
If an oil thermostat is fitted to the car, there is of course no need to do this.

A hot engine will suffer, depending on its mechanical condition, a greater or lesser degree of oil
pressure loss without the aid of an oil cooler. This is most apparent in heavy traffic congestion or on
long motorway journeys. A correctly positioned oil cooler maintains lower oil temperatures and thus
higher oil viscosity, resulting in higher pressure. This all amounts to longer engine life and freedom
from being transfixed by the needle of your oil pressure gauge. As none of the original Triumph
components are available we offer a comprehensive range of alternatives.

Kangaroo Petrol - or Worse?


A worried Scandinavian owner rang his UK based parts specialist one day with the complaint that
he could not drive his car slowly over the bumpy woodland roads typical of his country without it
behaving like it was a kangaroo. He had done everything to his car including fitting stronger front
road springs and harder dampers in a vain attempt to relieve the problem.
It was eventually solved by the use of a pair of new carburettor throttle return springs to replace
very tired old ones. Every time he had driven over a bump, his foot had pushed down on a very
light throttle pedal.
He reacted by lifting his foot, the car slowed down and he instinctively pressed the accelerator
down, whereupon the whole disconcerting process began again.
Increasing the pedal pressure of the accelerator by fitting new return springs was just enough, as
the cars designers had intended, to damp out the see-saw effect and resolve the owners
kangaroo petrol problem.
Incidentally, tired engine mountings which allow the engine to rock sideways excessively under
acceleration or braking will cause the throttle cable to tighten or slacken off, resulting in similar
staccato progress down the road (although not so marked as that caused by a soft pedal).

Anti Freeze: Winter Protection and Summer Coolant


Note: See accessories catalogue for Money Saving Kenlowe Electric fans.
Todays anti freezes are of a high quality chemical mix and no longer deteriorate within 6 months
and ruin the cooling system of the engine. However, anti freeze should always be used as
recommended by the manufacturer and any instructions given should be adhered to.
The hidden benefit of using anti freeze throughout the year is that not only does it protect the cooling
system from freezing in cold weather, as the name suggests, but it also increases the boiling point
of the water; this is ideal for the hotter conditions of summer driving. Most high grade anti freeze
solutions also contain an inhibitor that will reduce or eliminate cooling system corrosion. That will
stop, for example, thermostat housings and other alloy components from disintegrating.

Triumph Cooling Fans - and the BOW Test


In the 1960s Standard Triumph had a series of unexplained blade failures on plastic cooling fans. Their
development department was confused by this, as the fans fitted were of a material and construction
which made them capable of rotating a whole lot faster than the engines could before they failed.
The cause of blade breakage was traced to shock loading, caused by rain water thrown up from
the test track or road when puddles were driven over at speed. Those ever resourceful Triumph
chaps at Fletchamstead Highway would have to quickly find a method of viewing the phenomena
of fan blade breakage, when the speeding car passed over a puddle. Enter the BOW test.
This very expensive piece of test equipment duplicated the conditions of wet roads, providing
visual proof of the occurrence. Armed with the results of the test, plastic technology and air duct
design could be amended to completely alleviate the problem. What was BOW? Simply a Bucket
Of Water thrown at the rotating fan from different angles to study the effect.

Why is a Pressure Cap Used On a Radiator?


By sealing the cooling system, pressure up to a certain given value is built up and the boiling point
of the water is raised. This enables a smaller quantity of water to be used and rather higher (and
therefore more efficient) engine temperatures, without the risk of the water boiling. The system is
sealed by the radiator cap. The cap consists of two halves, namely a pressure valve and vacuum
valve. The pressure valve is a spring which holds the caps large seal against the inside surface of
the filler neck. It will allow pressure to build up to a given value (usually stamped into the top of
the cap) and be maintained in the sealed system. The vacuum valve is a small poppet valve that,
as the radiator water cools & contracts admits air and restores pressure to atmospheric.
Throughout its life, the engine passes through countless temperature cycles that will cause pressure
increases and decreases in the cooling system. The radiator cap is therefore working constantly.
So when you are seeking solutions to overheating problems... you might just have a worn out
radiator cap, not a blown head gasket and cracked block, as friends cheerfully suggested.

Fan Belt Tension


The question of how tight a fan belt should be is not as easy to answer as would first seem;
certainly it should be tight enough to drive the engine ancillaries to which it is attached, but not so
tight that the bearings of the ancillaries are overloaded. A fan belt that is fitted too tightly will also
absorb extra engine power. Fitted too loosely, the belt will slip when the engine is accelerated or
an electrical load is applied to the generating system. Slippage wears out the belt and the pulleys.
The handbooks and service manuals give instructions about belt tension. Maintenance of the belt
and its periodic replacement will eradicate one of the most frustrating causes of breakdowns. If
the fan belt is replaced before it breaks, the old item could be kept in the boot just in case.

Cooling System 'Leak Stoppers'


The use of proprietary leak stoppers (whether of the fluid type or the stick of material which is
designed to be crumbled, stock cube fashion, into the radiator) is often the focus of derision from
the motoring enthusiast fraternity.
Blocked radiator cores and other maladies are said to result from using leak stopper to bodge a
repair on an errant cooling system. Well, read on.
There is a Leyland Cars publication, for internal use, called Parts List Schedules or Modifications
- ADO47 MG 1500. In the section entitled Fuel, Oils & Grease (you just wouldnt believe the
variety of lubricants applied to each car when it was built) is the following statement;
Bars Seal Leak Stopper (insert cylinder of Bars Seal in top radiator hose).
Routes: All. Modification Date: 27/05/76.
In other words, from that date onwards, every car that came down the line had a stick of leak
stopper in it! Presumably this was to guarantee against small weeps from a newly assembled
system. Continual use of the product to shore up an ailing cooling system might impede water flow
(although in theory this shouldnt take place, since leak stopper will only cure in air - i.e. when it
finds a leak out of the sealed system), but the product is acceptable when used in moderation.

The Moss R&D team combined forces with British Motor Heritage to reproduce the tolerance ring
which had been unavailable for a long time. During those long dark days when Spitfire owners
suffered a deep period of depression and a gnashing of teeth, we learned of many who used the
tolerance ring in conjunction with a 5/16 bolt (BH605321), two washers (GHF302) and a nyloc nut
(GHF222) to stop the worn tolerance ring from falling out. The alternative was to suffer the pin
dropping straight out again during rebuilding, or waiting to drop out while the car was being tested.
Trouble was, tightening the nut up too tight led to the unfortunate bodger splitting the bell housing
(hence all that Araldite stuffed in the crack that you have just no doubt discovered).
The moral is clear, dont listen to ex-Spitfire owners who suggest using a nut and bolt to do a
bodge job. At less than two quid a shot we expect all Spitfire owners to do the decent thing and
liberate this bolt from their clutch and replace the worn tolerance ring with a new item.

motor cars; it uses air from a spare tyre to propel the fluid under pressure into the system. The
only cautionary note is to follow the manufacturers instructions religiously; seat the adaptors
correctly on both the Eezibleed reservoir and the master cylinder, and dont have too high a
pressure in the spare tyre.
Another tool, like the hand operated vacuum pump from Mityvac, attaches to the bleed nipple on
the slave cylinder to draw fluid down the line, collecting waste fluid in its own reservoir. While a
little more expensive than Eezibleed, the Mityvac has the added advantage of a host of other uses,
for example checking vacuum systems on distributors, brake servos, etc.

Clutch & Brake Fluids


When did you last change your Clutch/Brake fluid?
DOT 3 fluid ought to be completely discarded, DOT 4 (GBF4) should be installed and replaced
every 2 years, as recommended by manufacturers.
An alternative, especially if you are replacing master cylinders, brake calipers and/or wheel
cylinders, is to thoroughly flush out the pipes and install Silicone fluid (DOT5 ABF), which is NonHygroscopic, so it doesnt promote rust problems in the hydraulic system. The bonus is that it
wont damage paint work.
When silicone is in use it will provide years of trouble free braking and an end to the monotonous
and expensive pastime of repairing or replacing worn or leaking hydraulic components.
Racing Fluid (DOT 5.1 GBF5) really is the ultimate in brake fluid. Its anti-boil properties mean that
even when the brakes get hot the fluid will remain efficient, rather than boiling locally (such as in
the calipers) into useless vapour. Ideal on the race track or when the brakes are used to their
limits. Due to its high Hygroscopic nature, DOT 5.1 Racing fluid should be replaced annually
otherwise the quality and effectiveness will be drastically reduced.

Gearboxes are supplied without top cover extension or bell housing.


Contact your branch to find out whether you have to remove the bell housing, extension, adaptor
plate etc. before handing us your old unit. You must supply us with a re-buildable 'like for like' old
unit. For example, offering us an old non-overdrive box for a rebuilt overdrive item wont do. Also,
if you have a non-overdrive gearbox with a square drive flange, its a Spitfire MkI-III unit and
therefore not acceptable as an old unit to exchange for a rebuilt MkIV gearbox.

*Note: This shim is selectively fitted under each of the springs and balls in the two synchro hubs in the
gearbox. Its use is to equalise the outward pressure of the balls in the hub. Equalising the pressure
can only be achieved with special spring balance equipment, so it only remains to be said that if you
have to take a hub apart for inspection or cleaning, make sure (by means of scribing identifying marks
on non-working surfaces of the gear) that the correct shims go back in their respective holes. Along
the same lines as the above, use corresponding scribed marks on the hub and outer ring to ensure
that the ring is slipped back in place exactly as it was before (and the same way round!).

Assessment for Gearbox Overhaul


Oil in any machinery collects particles from the operating parts that it comes into contact with. Many
engineering concerns use lubricating oil analysis at regular intervals to monitor the machinerys
condition. In fact, with the oil laboratorys help and the applied knowledge of the mechanical
engineer, machinery life expectancy and time period between overhauls can be established.
Economically speaking, a piece of machinery can be withdrawn from service for bearing
replacement before it actually fails and destroys other more expensive parts within the whole.
This, in the case of an aircraft engine for example, will minimise in-service break downs and
unscheduled power plant changes. Some motor car oil manufacturers offer lubricant analysis to
users of their product.
Impending failures can be noted by increases of certain deposits in the analysed oil. The oil drained
from your gearbox can be viewed in a less scientific manner, but still with an accent towards
indicating any potential failure, or to give an idea of which item has failed within the gearbox and
how it has failed.
A damaged component such as a synchro ring may prove relatively cheap to replace. The complete
collapse of the mainshaft tip bearing or layshaft needle roller bearings is not. The inclusion of a
magnetic drain plug in the sump of the gearbox is recommended; it will collect all the metallic
particles that otherwise would circulate with the oil and further erode the wearing surfaces of all
components.
So what do you look for in your oil when you have drained it into a clean container?
A light brassy coloured oil is nothing to worry about. However, brassy coloured lumps or pieces of
yellow coloured metal probably indicates the failure of synchro rings, the plain bushes on the
mainshaft or the thrust washers at each end of the laygear countershaft.
A thick grey coloured oil will indicate the start of or the actual failure of steel components such as
the laygear bearings, or the mainshaft tip bearing in the first motion shaft. This coloured deposit

GEARBOX

27

can be tested with a magnet; steel fragments will of course be attracted to it.
If the reason you have drained your oil is because of a nasty noise from the gearbox when it is
driven, this information may assist you in planning the repair route you choose. Once the gearbox
is removed from the car, the exterior of the gearbox should be cleaned. It is important that no extra
dirt be deposited inside the gearbox while an internal examination is carried out through the
removed top cover. Physically moving parts about and checking for excessive play in bearings will
give a good indication whether it is cheaper to chop the box in for a reconditioned item, or tackle
the repair yourself. Often it is cheaper to tackle the task yourself.
As with all things in life - you get what you pay for A cheap reconditioned exchange gearbox is not
necessarily as good as your own with the same amount spent on replacement parts. This said, if you
are expecting to have to renew gear assemblies or sets of gears it may well prove economically more
prudent to obtain a quality reconditioned exchange unit. Often, when gear set and shaft replacement
is required the sum of the cost of the parts far exceeds the cost of the whole.
The quality gearbox repairer knows what goes wrong and will replace items regardless of their
condition, as he has to guarantee the finished unit. Similarly an experienced re-conditioner will
have spares available to himself which are not always obtainable by the public. This is his trade
and he will protect it to retain his position in the marketplace.
When fitting a reconditioned exchange gearbox assembly do not forget that the unit is delivered
without lubricating oil. The oil recommended is Hypoid 90 grade, as used in the rear axle assembly.
As a useful tip, remember to slacken both the oil drain plug and filler plug prior to installation of
the unit in the car. There is nothing more irritating than wanting to fill (or drain) a gearbox and then
discovering that the plugs on the freshly fitted and now inaccessible unit were apparently installed
by the worlds strongest man! Afterwards, re-tighten both plugs to your chosen torque.

costs. You must supply us with a re-buildable 'like for like' old unit. For example, offering us an
old non-overdrive box for a rebuilt overdrive item wont do. Our overdrive boxes are supplied

Note: Overdrive conversions are frequently a desirable feature. J type overdrive units can be
fitted to a suitably prepared gearbox (see gearbox internal & overdrive unit sections, pages 30 &
35). It would be wise to make sure that the correct tower unit is to hand before progressing too
far, as this may well be the hens teeth of this enterprise.

that if you have to take a hub apart for inspection or cleaning, make sure (by means of scribing
identifying marks on non-working surfaces of the gear) that the correct shims go back in their
respective holes. Along the same lines as the above, use corresponding scribed marks on the hub
and outer ring to ensure that the ring is slipped back in place exactly as it was before (and the

So what do you look for in your oil when you have drained it into a clean container?
A light brassy coloured oil is nothing to worry about. However, brassy coloured lumps or pieces of
yellow coloured metal probably indicates the failure of synchro rings, the plain bushes on the
mainshaft or the thrust washers at each end of the laygear countershaft.
A thick grey coloured oil will indicate the start of or the actual failure of steel components such as
the laygear bearings, or the mainshaft tip bearing in the first motion shaft. This coloured deposit
can be tested with a magnet; steel fragments will of course be attracted to it.
If the reason you have drained your oil is because of a nasty noise from the gearbox when it is
driven, this information may assist you in planning the repair route you choose. Once the gearbox
is removed from the car, the exterior of the gearbox should be cleaned. It is important that no extra
dirt be deposited inside the gearbox while an internal examination is carried out through the
removed top cover. Physically moving parts about and checking for excessive play in bearings will
give a good indication whether it is cheaper to chop the box in for a reconditioned item, or tackle
the repair yourself. Often it is cheaper to tackle the task yourself.
As with all things in life - you get what you pay for.
A cheap reconditioned exchange gearbox is not necessarily as good as your own with the same
amount spent on replacement parts. This said, if you are expecting to have to renew gear
assemblies or sets of gears it may well prove economically more prudent to obtain a quality
reconditioned exchange unit. Often, when gear set and shaft replacement is required the sum of
the cost of the parts far exceeds the cost of the whole.
The quality gearbox repairer knows what goes wrong and will replace items regardless of their
condition, as he has to guarantee the finished unit. Similarly an experienced re-conditioner will
have spares available to himself which are not always obtainable by the public. This is his trade
and he will protect it to retain his position in the marketplace.
When fitting a reconditioned exchange gearbox assembly do not forget that the unit is delivered
without lubricating oil.
The oil recommended is Hypoid 90 grade, as used in the rear axle assembly. As a useful tip,
remember to slacken both the oil drain plug and filler plug prior to installation of the unit in the car.
There is nothing more irritating than wanting to fill (or drain) a gearbox and then discovering that
the plugs on the freshly fitted and now inaccessible unit were apparently installed by the worlds
strongest man! Afterwards, re-tighten both plugs to your chosen torque.

Bell Housing Drainage


{ alternatives
}

*Note: These springs control the end float of the laygear on its shaft, by pushing the front thrust
washer against the laygear. Placing the springs in their respective holes in the gear case is the last
job to be done prior to refitting the bell housing; its very easy to forget them. Be warned!

Assessment for Gearbox Overhaul


Oil in any machinery collects particles from the operating parts that it comes into contact with.
Many engineering concerns use lubricating oil analysis at regular intervals to monitor the
machinerys condition. In fact, with the oil laboratorys help and the applied knowledge of the
mechanical engineer, machinery life expectancy and time period between overhauls can be
established. Economically speaking, a piece of machinery can be withdrawn from service for
bearing replacement before it actually fails and destroys other more expensive parts within the
whole. This, in the case of an aircraft engine for example, will minimise in-service break downs
and unscheduled power plant changes. Some motor car oil manufacturers offer lubricant analysis
to users of their product.
Impending failures can be noted by increases of certain deposits in the analysed oil. The oil drained from
your gearbox can be viewed in a less scientific manner, but still with an accent towards indicating any
potential failure, or to give an idea of which item has failed within the gearbox and how it has failed.
A damaged component such as a synchro ring may prove relatively cheap to replace. The complete
collapse of the mainshaft tip bearing or layshaft needle roller bearings is not. The inclusion of a
magnetic drain plug in the sump of the gearbox is recommended; it will collect all the metallic particles
that otherwise would circulate with the oil and further erode the wearing surfaces of all components.

Some (but apparently not all) 1500 gearbox bell housings have a small hole at the bottom, in which
is a loosely fitted split pin, seemingly serving no purpose. In fact, this split pin (part no. PC39) is
sitting in a drainage hole, and its mere presence dangling in the hole helps oil or water which may
have found its way into the bell housing to drain out again, thus avoiding fluid build up in the
environs of the clutch.
Omit the split pin and the hole, devoid of the rattling bit which kept it clear, will quickly block up
and fail to serve its purpose.

So Your Overdrives Stopped Working (part 2)


used in 3 rail
type overdrive (item 1)

and youd prefer to explore some less expensive reasons for failure before looking up the price
of a solenoid or overdrive unit. Check for the following easy-to-cure problems first (these are
equally applicable to both D and J type fitted cars);
1)

used in single rail


type overdrive
(item 14)

2)
3)

4)

If you look at the gear knob switch you will notice that there are special connectors used on
the gear lever harness which slide onto the switch fittings. The connectors are insulated from
each other by means of the switch casing, however they do sometimes become disconnected
through vibration and either earth out or break the circuit intermittently.
A short circuit caused by chaffing of the gear lever wires (153726) is a prevalent problem on
all cars with gear knob mounted overdrive switches.
The overdrive may sometimes cease to work due to wear on the inhibitor switch ball end of
the 3rd & 4th gear selector shaft. Removal of a spacing washer may cure this problem. Too
few washers may load up the selector and stiffen the gear change.
Remember the all important ingredient of an overdrive is oil. It is the operating medium as
well as a lubricant. Under no circumstances should anti-friction additives be used in gearbox
or overdrive oil. Hypoid oil should not be used even though its recommended by Triumph (the
gearbox maker). Laycock de Normanville (the overdrive maker) specifically excludes oils
with Hypoid additives from its lubrication chart.

Moss suggest the following oils;


Warm climates:
Cold climates and winter:

Penrite Gear oil 40 (GGL9021X).


Penrite Gear oil 30 (GGL9019X).

1300, J Type Overdrive Gearbox (c)


FH60001 to (c) FH62644
J Type overdrive equipped Spitfires built in this period (beginning of 1974 model year) used two
harnesses on the gearbox (one for reverse lights, the other for overdrive) plus two sets of wires running
from the car body to supply the two systems. All later 1300 J type overdrive cars (c) FH62645 onwards)
had just one set of supply wires on the body, plus one dual purpose harness on the gearbox (item 40 on
this page). This harness may be easily installed on the earlier cars by simply connecting it to the reverse
lamp circuit wires hanging on the bulkhead, just to the left of the front of the gearbox tunnel (the wires
are green and green/brown). The overdrive supply wires on the car body will now be redundant. All
switches, brackets & clips are as per the (c) FH62645 onwards section.

Carburettor Technical Tips


Carburettors rarely go out of tune by themselves. When engine condition changes, the carburation
requirements of the engine are altered. A compromise is sometimes possible by adjusting the
carburettor(s) to suit, but the overall performance will be below what it should be. When you think
your car needs a carburettor tune-up, make sure that everything is in proper condition and adjusted.
It is impossible to properly adjust carburettors if the engine is not set up correctly.

wasted, and if the mixture is wrong Colourtune provides the means to make accurate adjustments
with ease. According to the AA (the worlds largest automobile association), Colourtune can save up
to 10% of the fuel you put into the tank, which gives you more money to spend on Saturday night.

Re-bushing Carburettor Bodies

'Precision fuel flow'

Re-bushing carburettor bodies and fitting new throttle shafts is a major part of a carburettor rebuild
which is often overlooked. Vacuum leaks due to worn bodies and shafts cause rough idle, poor
performance, and poor fuel economy.
Checking the shaft & body clearance is a simple matter of wiggling the shafts in the carburettor
bodies. Any appreciable play indicates wear in the bodies or on the shafts or both. Some wear is
to be expected, but performance is seriously affected when clearances are over 0.005 (five
thousandths of an inch). Verification is done with the engine running at idle by spraying carburettor
cleaner (MRD1023) on the shafts where they enter the carburettor body. If the idle changes, the
shafts and/or the bodies are worn.
Quite often, the problem can be fixed by simply replacing the throttle shafts. Remove the couplings,
springs, and other fittings from the ends of the shafts. Mark the butterfly plates with a felt-tip pen
to indicate which end is installed upwards and remove the two securing screws. Pull the plates out
and slide the shaft sideways until a clean, unworn section of the shaft is in each side of the body.
Now wiggle the shaft up & down, forwards & backwards, to determine if any play is present. If none,
a new pair of standard throttle shafts should solve the problem. Oversize shafts (if not already fitted)
can be purchased to take up slight wear in the carburettor body. Since the holes in the bodies
generally wear to a slight oval shape, it is advisable when fitting oversize shafts, to ream the
carburettor bodies to the diameter of the particular new shaft plus 0.002 clearance. Standard SU
shafts measure 0.310 to 0.311 in diameter. Oversize shafts vary in diameter, but are generally
0.005 to 0.010 larger than the standard shafts. If the carburettor bodies are found to be worn too
badly for oversize shafts to be effective, the bodies must be re-bushed.
To re-bush carburettor bodies, the old bushes (or the bodies themselves, if the particular
carburettors dont have bushes) must be drilled out to a diameter just smaller than the outside
diameter. of the new bushes, and to a depth just short of entering the venturi. Since each side of
the body must be drilled separately, accurate alignment of the two holes is difficult to maintain.
Several members of our staff have found that an easy way to do this is to chuck the appropriate
drill in a lathe, and run the carburettor body onto the drill with the tailstock centre. New bushes
are then pressed into the bodies and reamed to fit the new shafts with the minimum clearance
which allows free rotation. This is best accomplished with a 5/16 adjustable reamer with a pilot
long enough to ride in the opposing bush. Sometimes it is necessary to lap the shafts in the bushes
by chucking the projecting end of the shaft in an electric drill and running it dry in the bushes. Do
not use any abrasive compound; the dark oxide that is formed is enough. Add a drop or two of light
oil and continue until the shaft rotates freely in the bushes. After re-installation of the throttle
plates, springs, and linkage, the rest of the rebuild is routine. Keep in mind that the throttle plates
must be centralised before the screws are tightened.

Your carburettors may be reconditioned, but they still leak fuel all over the place when you lift your
foot off the accelerator. If so, fit Grose jets, the ball valve jet which wont stick open, unlike old
fashioned needle and seat valves.

Carburettor Adjusting Tools


The proper tools will give you an edge in the correct tuning and maintenance of your carburettors.
For full details of carburettor tools please refer to Accessories.

Choke Adjustment
Adjustment of the choke mechanism of SUs and Zenith-Strombergs is of great importance, but
seems to be little understood.
Technically speaking, SUs do not have true choke mechanisms by which a richer mixture is
created by restricting the airflow, but accomplish the same result by keeping the airflow the same
and increasing the flow of fuel. Zenith-Stromberg carburettors on U.S.A. market Spitfires use a true
choke; a starter bar which rotates up under the air piston, at once restricting the airflow and
increasing the fuel flow. Before any choke adjustments can be made accurately, the carburettors
must be synchronised and balanced and the choke cable disconnected from the carburettors. Of
primary consideration is the physical condition of the choke & fast idle linkages. Excess looseness
or binding prevent proper adjustment and operation. Replace any worn or damaged parts. Next,
the choke linkages of the two carburettors must be synchronised. If you have any doubts as to how
to do this, refer to a good workshop manual. In general, back off the fast idle screws so they wont
get in the way, loosen the interconnecting linkage, and re-tighten so that both chokes begin to
operate at the same time. Adjust the fast idle screws so that in the rest position, there is about
1/32 clearance between the screws and the fast idle cams. Re-connect the choke cable leaving
it a bit slack, as you do not want any pre-load on the choke mechanism that would hinder its return
to rest when the choke is in the off position.

Choke Adjustment

If difficulty is encountered in adjusting to a proper idle speed, check for:


1) Vacuum leaks.
2) Jet/choke linkage position.
3) Interference between the fast idle adjusting screw and the fast idle cam.
Check all of this only after you are sure that the ignition system and the rest of the engine are in good order.

{ fuel & brake pipes


} to chassis

Pulling out the choke knob causes two distinct mechanical things happen to your carburettors.
A ) The first third of movement increases the idle speed, this can often be observed by
the accelerator pedal moving downwards.
B ) The next two thirds of movement continues to increase the idle speed while
enriching the fuel/air mixture.
To start your Triumph from cold you should always use full choke.
Once the engine has started, feed the choke back in to obtain a smooth fast idle which has
sufficient mixture enrichment to allow smooth acceleration but not rough idling. The real trick is to
gradually feed the choke back in as the engine warms up and retain normal running & pick up.
Whatever happens the choke must be pushed fully in before the engine reaches normal running
temperature. Remember too little choke will mean bad cold starting and hesitant pick-up while the
engine is warming up. Too much choke will give a lumpy tickover, excessive fuel consumption and
more dramatically, increased cylinder bore wear due to the petrol washing off the lubricating oil
from the cylinder walls. If your Spitfire does not warm up quickly to the correct temperature, check
the operation of the radiator thermostat. If in doubt read the service manual about resetting the
choke mixture & fast idle.

Triumph changed the pump installation at engine no. FM93157. The new installation included a
spacer block between the engine and pump. The later pump must be fitted with the block and
conversely the early pump must not. This is due to different types of contact desired between the
lever & the camshaft.
Note: That aftermarket versions of the pumps may have lever profiles which only approximate to
the illustrations.

Non USA Spitfires used only SU carburettors in two sizes;


1 1/4 (HS2) & later 1 1/2 (HS4). This is lucky because it therefore means there is continuity in the
supply of parts, also that the changes made (for emission control) are negligible. All 1300 non USA
Spitfires use HS2 carburettors of the swing (or biased) needle type. When components differ between
the front & rear carburettors, the text lists both items describing them simply as front or rear.

Note: Throttle disc kits include screws (item 52) & carburettor mounting gaskets items 80 & 81.

CARBURETTORS

HS4 SU Carburettors
The HS4 type carburettor on 1500 engines during production was subjected to more visually
obvious improvements than its predecessor, the HS2 on 1300 engines. These changes included
the replacement of the age old sliding bush suction chamber & piston assembly, with a new
smoother ball bearing design (a definite improvement) and, the introduction in 1976 of the
emissions-conscious Capstat jets (at best, controversial). The illustration and text is structured in
an attempt to group together all the components in each sub assembly which changed.
Note: That reconditioned carburettors are offered on an exchange basis. To be acceptable for
exchange, your old units must be complete and undamaged. See accessories catalogue for full details.

Note: The ball bearing type suction chamber is a vast improvement over the earlier sliding bush
type, with benefits to smoothness, acceleration and economy. If fitted it must be used with the
correct damper (LZX1313 or LZX1506) and piston spring (AUD4355). No needle specification
change is required.

{ Converts Capstat jets
} to standard jets
73

Note: If your car has capstat type carburettors (FZX1258, FZX1122 or FZX1327) then read on. Its
possible that your engine - when hot, dies on idle, or idles unevenly. If these maladies can be
definitely traced back to the carburettors, our TT1459 Capstat conversion kit can be fitted. The
kit replaces the dubious Capstat jets with standard items and also effects the necessary choke
linkage changes. One kit services both carburettors.

Note: Use Item 50 when the carburettor body is worn around the throttle spindle. Reaming the boss
in the carburettor body to 9.5mm allows the insert to be fitted, thereby bringing the hole diameter
in the boss to a correct 5/16. See page 37 (Fuel System Technical Tips) for further details.

Road Wheels & Tools

Offset Splined Hub Kit

Note: See also Exterior Trim in accessories catalogue for our full range of road wheels.

If you have ever wanted to fit larger diameter or wider wire wheels to your Spitfire/Herald, but were
always told you couldnt, well think again, because Moss Europe can now supply (a set of 4) easy to
fit bolt-on splined hubs that fit directly onto your existing (disc brake type) hub flange utilising the
original wheel studs. Simple. Because these splined hubs have an ingenious off-set, they allow you
the fitting of 14"/15" diameter (centre lock wire) wheels and, a choice of different rim widths. So
now you really can make your classic not only look good, but you can make it a real head turner.

{ originally for MkI-III
} Spitfires; but will fit later cars

Following the success of their earlier TR wheel hubs, designers at Standard Triumph developed a
wheel hub set which would bolt directly to the steel wheel axles of the Spitfire. We are able to
supply these for owners wishing to convert from steel to wire wheels. Please note that Adaptor
nuts will be required and are not supplied with the adaptor hubs.
These hubs will only safely accept the wire wheels specifically designed for Spitfires. Other 13"
dia. wire wheels may look as though they fit, but the spline & seat design may differ - so they dont.
(See below for hubs for custom built cars) Its a matter of Triumph engineers effectively widening
the axle by using adaptors, but endeavouring to keep the overall track dimension the same.

Note: The above nuts must be used when installing wire wheel adaptor hubs. If ordinary wheel nuts
are used, each wheel will be unable to locate properly on its adaptor. The steering will become
increasingly interesting as the wire wheels start sliding along the hubs and the wheel nuts &
spinners begin to unfasten. (Unless you already have standard bolt-on centre lock/splined hubs
fitted, you will need to order 16 nuts).

Miscellaneous Tools & Equipment

Note: At the time of writing we have no plans to re-manufacture Spitfire steel wheels due to the
prohibitive cost of tooling the complex centre pressing. The situation could conceivably change in the
future (keep an eye on our price guide), but in the meantime we can offer an alloy wheel alternative.
This wheel, styled as a replica of the 8 spoke competition wheels used so widely in the 1960s &
1970s, is manufactured specifically for Spitfires in a silver finish. Special wheel nuts must be used.

WIRE WHEELS

49

It is always best to check the wire wheel by clamping it onto a front hub, using the correct knockon nut BEFORE fitting the tyre. Spin the wheel on the hub and check sideways or vertical run-out
as shown in the illustration, and observe or measure the run-out. + or 1/16 is not a problem,
even +/- 1/8 is barely detectable on the road.

So the conclusion is summarised as follows:


Our new wire wheels are built and assembled to the highest standards. When your wheel/tyre fitter
says they are no good, there is a very, very strong chance that he is not using the equipment in a
fashion which is appropriate for wire wheels. The above tips will allow you to check the truth of
the wire wheel, whether the wheel is new or used.
Its a sad truth that wire wheels have a bad reputation they dont deserve, but the people who give them
a bad reputation actually deserve it themselves. We have total confidence in the Dunlop product we sell.
By Pete Cox

So You Think Youve Got Wobbly Wire Wheels?

How To Balance Centre Lock Wire Wheels

Back in the good old days when Pete Buckles and myself were just young lads, we were able to
buy virtually direct from Dunlop, so the wire wheels were inexpensive. These British made wheels
were sold mostly to the TR Register members at insanely low prices. 4.5 x 60 spoke wire wheels
went out at 4.10.0d!, with no VAT to pay and we still made a pound on each wheel! The low prices
enabled me to indulge in experiments: if they didnt work (or fit), offending wheels would always
be sold on and a couple of bob profit could still be made.

We show here the advice given to tyre fitters, produced by Motor Wheel Services.
These notes are intended as a guide in helping to solve problems that are commonly encountered
when balancing wire wheels on a electronic balancer.
Diagram A
Diagram B

Is the correct method of locating the wheel.


Shows the wrong method and one which gives false readings, giving
the appearance of untrue or wheels that require large amounts of
weights to balance the wheel.

Points To Check

The original high degree of balance may be affected by wheel damage as well as by
other factors related to the tyres uneven tread wear, cover or tube repairs.

If vibration or high speed steering troubles develop, and this cause is not disclosed
by mechanical investigation, then the complete tyre & wheel assembly should be
checked for balance.

It is IMPERATIVE that the hubs are located in the balancing machine in exactly the
same manner as located on the car, and the factory truing jigs. Alternatively, balance
on the vehicle, this operation can only be done on the front wheels.

Motor Wheel Services dedicate considerable time to ensure that your wheels are of the highest
quality & reliability. Following this guide, and the information contained in our centre-lock brochure
will provide the highest level of customer satisfaction.
So my TR2, an attractive beast wearing glistening Midnight Blue paint work and not so glistening
(but by then typical), rusty quarter panels, finalised its development with the unusual combination
of 6 Cobra wheels at the front and, 5.5 TR6 wheels at the rear. This was because the TR2 was
always enthusiastically driven and the growing pile of Lockheed half shafts finally stopped growing
the day a second hand TR4 rear axle was installed, its extra width requiring the above wheel
combination to balance its cornering habits.
Now, wire wheels are built to flex (or bend) and this was brought shockingly home to me on one
occasion when Pete Buckles visited me in Birmingham (remember Clapgate Lane?). We were off
to visit a supplier (who incidentally, still stamps out trunnion blanks for Moss). Petes TR3 followed
my TR2 down an interestingly twisty road which I happened to know particularly well, and after
exiting a seriously exciting corner I looked in the mirror to check on the progress of our illustrious
leader, and was horrified to see his car in a lurid slide (he maintained it was under control) with
its outside front wheel keeling over at a crazy angle, almost 60 off vertical. This memory has
remained vivid ever since, and is one explanation why Moss Europe (formerly Cox & Buckles) do
not sell second hand or reconditioned wire wheels.
If it is assumed that both hub & rim of a wire wheel are in good condition, it may be worth having
the wheel re-spoked as necessary and then trued up by a competent re-builder. The wheel will
probably need shot blasting and stove enamelling which will bring the cost to near to (or possibly
over) the price of a new wheel. Remember also that you have got a used, worn wheel, not a nice
new one. Bear in mind then, that the wheel is capable of being flexed by 4 (i.e., the hub is fixed
and the top of the wheel is 4 further out than the bottom), while it is rotating at speed on the road,
it is then supposed to return to the original shape.NOW decide if you still want the wheel re-built!
We certainly would not want to guarantee one.
Slight sideways run-out (or out of true) with wire wheels is therefore not significant: a couple of hard
corners will soon re-arrange the wheel spokes anyway. Vertical run out should not be permitted, ever.
By far the most common cause of wire wheel wobbles is an incorrect method employed in balancing.
A simple spirit level balancer is the thing to seek out. Under no circumstances should balancing be
attempted on the now common dynamic machine without the use of the special sprung cones shown
in the illustration, because, although the wheel locates correctly on its inner coned surface, these
machines try and locate onto the inside of the wire wheels outer flange, which is NOT a true
machined surface. This incorrect technique appears as terrific sideways run-out and the balancing
specialist always blames the wheel. Now you know the truth.

If your car has single system brakes, identifying the master cylinder is easy, either it has an alloy
reservoir cast integrally with the cylinder (GMC224), or it has a translucent plastic reservoir (GMC220).
However, if youre trying to purchase parts for (or replace completely) one of the two tandem
system master cylinders, the simplest method of identification is big cap and little cap, referring
of course to the filler caps. Big or Little cap? is very likely to be the question asked of you by your
parts man. Unfortunately, when viewed independently, both cylinders appear to have big caps. The
sure-fire method of identification is:

Clutch & Brake Fluids


When did you last change your Clutch/Brake fluid?
DOT 3 fluid ought to be completely discarded, DOT 4 (GBF4) should be installed and replaced every
2 years, as recommended by manufacturers. An alternative, especially if you are replacing master
cylinders, brake calipers and/or wheel cylinders, is to thoroughly flush out the pipes and install
Silicone fluid (DOT5 ABF), which is Non-Hygroscopic, so it doesnt promote rust problems in the
hydraulic system. The bonus is that it wont damage paint work. When silicone is in use it will provide
years of trouble free braking and an end to the monotonous & expensive pastime of repairing or
replacing worn or leaking hydraulic components. Racing Fluid (DOT 5.1 GBF5) really is the ultimate
in brake fluid. Its anti-boil properties mean that even when the brakes get hot the fluid will remain
efficient, rather than boiling locally (such as in the calipers) into useless vapour. Ideal on the race
track or when the brakes are used to their limits. Due to its high Hygroscopic nature, DOT 5.1 Racing
fluid should be replaced annually otherwise the quality and effectiveness will be drastically reduced.

Handbrake Adjustment
{
| tensioning cable spring
|
|
}
{ front cable
} to compensator

When adjusting the handbrake, please note there is a simple, and a hard way, to do the job. First
of all try adjusting the cable from the lever end, rather than making two sets of adjustments at the
wheels. Also it is well worth greasing the chassis guides (especially the compensator), because
otherwise the cables seem well adjusted, until the lever is applied; they then release under tension
resetting themselves again when the handbrake is applied. Greasing all of the guides and
compensator will inevitably lead to longer cable life and a smoother action during operation.

Note: Our Quick Racks have a high ratio pinion giving you lock-to-lock in only 2.5 turns (compared
to the standard 3.5). Made initially for competition use, racks have a stronger outer casing with a
higher grade of steel rack for increased durability. The Steering Rack Kits also include solid alloy
mounts to reduce the amount of steering rack float. These Quick Racks must be fitted with Alloy
(solid) mountings.

Removing & Refitting Steering Components


1. The steering lock.
There are several ways of removing steering lock shear bolts, which by security conscious design
will have sheared their heads off during fitting. The methods range from the ham-fisted (ignoring
the bolts and simply hack-sawing the lock off, thereby destroying it ) to a couple of more rational
ideas described below.
If there is any of the shear bolt material proud of the steering lock casting, it may be possible to
create a slot across it with careful use of a hacksaw and then undo the bolt with a screwdriver. If
this is not possible, the bolt can be undone by putting the point of a centre punch near the outer
edge of the sheared surface of the bolt, then angling the punch so that when struck by a hammer
it knocks the bolt round in an anti-clockwise direction. Repeating this action will, of course,
eventually undo the bolt. Granted, its a slow procedure, but it works every time.
Drilling the bolts out is not really recommended if the lock is to be saved -unless you are
remarkably skilful (or lucky) in your aim, the drill will probably drift into the soft metal of the lock
casting, leaving rather too much of the relatively harder bolt complete.
In the same vein, using an Easyout (a device for removing broken studs) is a bit of a gamble; if
the Easyout breaks - as it will if you get a little too enthusiastic with it, you will be left staring at
something thats definitely too hard to drill out.

2. The steering wheel.


When trying to ease the steering wheel off the tapered splines on the top of the column without
the aid of the correct wheel pulling tool (i.e. jiggling it from side to side and tugging at the same
time, or tapping the back of the wheel with a soft faced hammer), make sure that the wheel
retaining nut is still held on to the end of the column by a thread or two. Youll have saved face literally - when the wheel eventually breaks free in a hurry from its splines.
Going back to the start of the task, scratch a mark on the top of the inner column to match another
on the wheel centre, so that later during re-assembly you dont have to go through the hit and miss
process of trying to get the wheel on straight again.

3. Joining the steering column to the steering rack.


Never attempt to join the column and steering rack together without the rack clamps being loose
enough to allow a little rotation of the rack in its mountings.
The movement will allow the splines of the column and the rack to settle properly in line with each
other; only then should all the bolts be nipped up tight:
The column pinch bolt first, followed by the rack mountings. If the rack pinion was not quite in line, so
that the column exerted a lateral pressure on it, abnormal wear on bushes and bearings would result.

The embarrassing horn fault


One sunny afternoon, you find yourself driving along in town with the hood down, generally
enjoying life. You turn a corner slowly into a crowded street in your gleaming pride and joy and...
the horn blares out, whereupon everyone stops and stares/glares at you. But youre sure you didnt
touch the horn. Later, you drive over a bump while following a taxi and the horn goes off again.
You hide miserably behind the steering wheel, as much out of sight of the taxi driver as possible.
Once back at the sanctuary of your house, you wreak revenge on the horn controls, carrying out a
thorough inspection and overhaul. A couple of days later, the same embarrassing events repeat
themselves. You cant believe it.
Try this test.
Hold the steering wheel and try to pull it back towards yourself; then push it forwards, away from
yourself, as far as you can. You will probably be shocked at the amount of longitudinal play (though
not as shocked as when the horn goes off again).
The excessive play - which at its worst point enables the horn circuit to be unintentionally
completed - is due to worn thrust washers on the steering rack pinion.
If you fancy your chances dealing with fine tolerance shims and things, then have a go at repairing
it. If youre sensible, replace your steering rack.

A rear spring shows its tiredness by inducing excessive camber on one of the rear wheels, usually
the drivers side. This malady can be cured by replacing the spring with either a new or
reconditioned unit to restore spring tension. It will also restore the ride quality of the car.

matter of Triumph engineers effectively widening the axle by using adaptors, but endeavouring to keep
the overall track dimension the same. See also 'Road Wheels & Tools' in accessories catalogue.

Propshaft
There were three designs for propshafts each with two different lengths. The changes in length
were for overdrive or non-overdrive versions. The constructional differences were sliding spline,
strap drive and frictionless pot joint. Triumph finally ended up using the frictionless pot joint type
in different lengths to service all cars. We offer either genuine Rover pot joint type (where still
available) or aftermarket reproduction prop shafts with a sliding spline.

STARTER MOTOR

Starter Motor
During the production of the MkIV 1300 & 1500 Spitfire, Triumph fitted three different models of
Lucas starter motor. All are interchangeable and have similar working characteristics. The problems
start if you wish to repair your own starter motor. You will need to know the model type to ensure the
correct parts for repair are ordered. The three model numbers are 25079B, 25022 and 25149B. The
Unipart/Lucas replacement rebuilt starter we supply is suitable for all applications.

Jammed Bendix Gears


Did you ever attempt to start your Spitfire and instead of the more usual loud rumbling sound from
the exhaust (and the nasty rattling sound from the scuttle panel), you hear nothing more than a
clunk. That clunk might have been finally diagnosed as a jammed starter bendix, but in the
meantime there was a way of getting home without resorting to the tow truck. Weve all been
there, trying to get out of the car park before the ticket ran out, but there is a temporary repair
method to release the jammed bendix gear and get you home.
To free the bendix gear, put the car into fourth gear with the ignition off, release the handbrake and rock
the car backwards and forwards. Jump back into the car and try again, then take the car out of gear and
try again without the car leapfrogging away from rest. Repeat as necessary. Replacement of the starter
bendix, starter motor or ring gear should be made at the earliest opportunity.

Stopping Trouble Before the Starter Stops


A starter motor often provides warnings in the form of jamming, slow cranking, or intermittent
operation, before it fails completely. Obviously it is in the owners interests to confront any
problems before they become terminal. Having removed the starter from the car, it can be carefully
dismantled on a work surface and the possible causes for impending failure investigated. Resist
the temptation to submerge the unit in cleaning fluid; doing so would probably result in the

The shaft bushes pressed into the front and rear end plates of the motor should be renewed if
necessary. These are Oilite bushes, which should be immersed in light engine oil for 24 hours
prior to fitting (the bush material absorbs the oil, to give prolonged lubrication).
Old lags of the starter reconditioning trade have jam jars filled with oil and bushes awaiting use. Excess
oil must be wiped away upon installation of the bushes (which is achieved by pressing, not hammering!).
Carbon brush replacement, if necessary, can be effected by soldering the replacements to the
commutator end shield brush contacts - not hard, just fiddly.
The copper wire windings and insulation of the armature and commutator assembly should be
inspected (the commutator is the segmented copper collar contacted by the carbon brushes at one
end of the armature). The contact surface must be clean, smooth and concentric to the armature
axis. A dirty commutator can be cleaned by wiping with a petrol moistened cloth, then lightly
polished with very fine glass paper. If the commutator is not true or excessively scored, it will need
to be turned at high speed in a lathe and machined with a very sharp tool. Not everyone has such
equipment to hand (!), but most people know of someone who has. The lightest of possible cuts
should be made on the lathe to true up the contact area. A very light polish after turning with very
fine glass paper is recommended. Under no circumstances should the insulation material between
the copper segments of the commutator be undercut. Re-assembly of the starter is the reverse of
disassembly. The factory workshop manual may be consulted for any further information.
Before refitting to the car, the motor must be tested.
Secure the starter motor body carefully in a vice and test it by connecting it with heavy gauge
cables (jump leads are ideal) to a 12 volt battery. Connect one cable to the starter terminal, the
other should be held against the drive end bracket.
The starter should run at high speed under these light load conditions. Upon rotation, the bendix
gear should move axially along the armature shaft towards the motor itself.
When the power is removed and the motor stops, the gear should return to its original position at
the outer end of the shaft.

Lucas Alternators, 15, 16 & 17 ACR types


Triumph, in their wisdom, used six different Lucas alternators on the MkIV & 1500 models. However,
thanks to Unipart logic they all end up as having one part number. This is due also to Lucas upgrading
and improving the alternators performance and output without affecting any other characteristics.

Various cables were used on the Spitfire over the years (left hand drive, right hand drive, USA
markets etc.), but all the different types were superseded by the Rover Group to one set of numbers.
The alternative to the screw terminal type, fitted to most Spitfires, are clamp cables (which were
standard on USA cars). Rover seemed, as a rule, to supply cables with clamp connections but using
the screw connection cable numbers. In other words, be prepared- you could receive either type
when you order a battery cable, but its more likely to be one with a clamp on it.

Details

Spitfire MkIV models were all fitted originally with AC Delco distributors. The distributor had a
mechanical tachometer drive take-off mounted at right angles to the main drive shaft. These
distributors are also identifiable by the pressed steel main case construction and the squat
distributor cap. The AC Delco units are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain and repair,
however we offer some spares and a rebuild service to a customers own unit.

Front side and indicator lamps are a source for concern. There were two different lens profiles
used between the 1300 and 1500 models. The 878 model lamps had gently curved lens faces
while the later 677 models had angled faces. Due to rationalisation the trend is to only supply the
677 type lamp for all applications. Be aware that owners of earlier cars who order one lens or
one lamp could end up with a functional but not matching lamp to their original.

The two different profile lens designs are identified by their Lucas model number which is
embossed in the plastic of genuine Lucas lenses. The two types are; 878 for MkIV and 1500 up
to 1976 approx.; and 677 for 1500 from 1976 on approx. If in doubt read the model number off
the lens on your car to obtain the correct lens replacement.

Note: The steering column was changed at (c) FH100019 for a more modern and safer design. It
included a new steering lock and switch gear. The horn was operated by the indicator switch
rather than by a button on the steering wheel. Consequently Triumph Spitfire owners discovered
that during panic stricken moments they could now flash their lights, operate the horn, set the
wipers and washers going while indicating left all at the same time, thereby blowing some
necessary fuses at the wrong moment.

Due to the fitment of a modified heater matrix in mid 1976 the demister system was slightly modified.
This led to the introduction of wider diameter demister tubes and new vents. Since Leyland did not
specify a change point (perhaps old and new stock were mixed in together for a short period on the
production lines) the only way to tell what demister system is fitted is by checking the diameter of
the pipes. Spitfires up to mid 1976 used 1.1/2 tubes; Spitfires after mid 1976 incorporated 1.3/4
diameter tubes. The dashboard top and vent capping assembly remained unchanged so you could
interchange late with early heater matrix and demisters (or vice versa) and nobody would ever know.
What you cant do is mix and match the early and late systems.

The heater matrix was cleverly pop riveted into its box, making it very difficult to remove in the
event of a blockage, if the matrix failed a whole new assembly had to be purchased. Should the
matrix be blocked or leaking, the outer chamber will have to be dismantled by either drilling out
the rivets, or if you are really desperate, by using a hammer and chisel. If the fragile matrix was
not damaged before you attacked the box, it will be now.

HEATING & VENTILATION

Heater Hoses
If you own a copy of the original Triumph Spitfire MkIV & 1500 Parts book (there were a number
of versions) you will have noticed that the pipes and hoses shown look nothing like those which
are fitted to your car. You may be worried about this, but rest assured that Triumphs highly
experienced technical illustrators, whose intricate and detailed work is admired around the world,
were very slightly wrong. In fact its doubtful whether they actually saw any of the components they
were drawing (possibly they only looked at prototype samples or sketches). The truth is now clear.
That water valve is the correct way up, you have got the correct hoses on your car, they dont connect
up the way shown in the factory parts book, and yes, you do have the proper thermostat housing
fitted above the water pump!

Water Flow and the Inlet Manifolds

MkIV to FH59688E

The way in which water was supplied to the heater matrix altered considerably over the years to
account for changes in environmental requirements, particularly in the USA. Originally the water
reached the heater via an outlet towards the rear of the block. A pipe connected to the water pump,
running the length of the block, allowed water to be sucked back into the main cooling system.

MkIV to FH59688E
The early MkIVs (to (e) FH59688E) were fitted, like the MkIII models, with a water heated manifold
allowing the fuel vapour to be heated prior to combustion. This had the effect of needing less choke,
but had the unfortunate by-product of allowing a less dense mixture into the combustion chamber.
For the technically minded - a less dense mixture 'in', leads to less power 'out'!
On these early MkIV models, water was sucked through the inlet manifold and around into the
water pump return pipe to heat the manifold (whether the heater was turned on or not!).
When the heater valve was opened, water was sucked from the rear of the cylinder block through
the heater joining up with the inlet manifold water on its way to the pump.

MkIV from FH59689E


On the later model, this system was modified so that the supply of water for both the inlet manifold
and the heater came only from one source - the thermostat housing. This probably improved flow
considerably and, made the inlet manifold even hotter, which in turn probably made the Spitfire
even slower. Soon after this Triumph introduced the world to a slow but warm Spitfire 1500.

To FH50000, only cars for the German market were fitted with reclining low back seats. There was no
provision on these seats to fit head restraints. Customers re-covering this type of seat will need to fit a
blanking plug in the cover where a head restraint would usually fit. (The plug part number is BD36610A)

Carpet Sets & Boot Trim


Spitfire carpets have always posed a problem for aftermarket suppliers. The severely contoured floor
of the cockpit necessitates a moulded carpet and to produce such a thing you need a mould, and quite
a large one at that. Several of them in fact. Unfortunately moulding quality carpet is also of different
construction compared to conventional laying type, which adds to the complexity of production.
During the 1960s and 70s different specifications of carpet were in use to the ones marketed
these days (which have to be flame resistant and rot-proof as well as mouldable). Even the type
of construction has changed, so with the problems caused by trying to match new carpets with
faded old ones, it can only be recommended to change complete sets. The good news is that
moulded carpets are really easy to fit! The material currently used is tufted and as close to the
original as can be found, and the sets fit both MkIVs and 1500s.

Note: While door handles are available individually, it is preferable to replace them in pairs to
ensure that one key still operates both doors. The unlisted door lock components in the illustration
simply show the relative positions of the available parts. When fitting a new door handle we
suggest you shape the split pin (item 83) to fit the shaft & then refit to the exterior door handle.
Also, once installed, adjust screw A to give clearance in the lock plate. The height of the split pin
has to be adjusted to make the linkage work correctly between inner and outer locks, once correct,
open tails of split pin slightly to lock into position.

Note: The Spitfire floor panel was originally a one piece pressing (908900); it is now offered in two
halves. Full length floor panels have a return lip designed for fitment to the inner sills, as original.
Half length floor panels are designed to repair the existing floor and fit to inner sills as required
without having to necessarily replace the inner sill section.

Note: These mirrors are all supplied with mounting plate, wedge and screws. Up to FH80000,
mirrors were always installed by a PDI (pre-delivery inspection) team at each local Triumph
dealership. This allowed the new owner an option regarding which mirrors should be fitted. From
FH80001 onwards, only black mirrors were offered and these were fitted at the factory.

Note: Moulding clips should always be attached to the car body, then the mouldings may be fitted.
The clips holding the mouldings to the rear wing top edges (item 29) should be attached facing
inwards and outwards alternately so that the mouldings may be sprung into place over them. Use
plenty of flexible sealant when fitting mouldings nos. 32, 33, 35 & 36 to stop them from realising
their potential as very efficient water traps.

were still in production the stud spacing on the body varied slightly from car to car. The spacing
problem has obviously been accentuated over the years by cars undergoing varying degrees of
repair or renovation, so the safest policy is to allow customers to fit the sockets to their new hoods.

Happisch, a superior black (Mohair type fabric) hood is also available, again complete with all
fittings. The material, chosen as original equipment by Jaguar and Lotus, comprises a spin died
outer skin woven from polyester, and poly-acrylic fibres, a middle layer of synthetic rubber, and
an abrasive resistant inner layer of cotton. Characteristics include resistance to creasing and
colour loss. Stroll into your local Jaguar dealer and have a look!

Note: During 1976 there was a change to a new type of plastic trim fitted above the door glass
(the exact change point is not known). These plastic covers were initially clipped, but 1976 on
models had the covers held by pop-rivets. These covers can be interchanged; the choice of
attachment falls to the owner and his/her cover and frame combination.

The following is supplied loose to be fitted by the customer: 8 x nos. 6 and 7. It is advised that the
correct tool set (item 27) should be used to attach the loose durable dots.

Note: If fitting an old hood frame you must make sure that the links are all correctly formed & not
distorted. Look also at the bushes; if they are worn unevenly, it suggests that part of the linkage
in that area is incorrect. The answer is to keep checking & tweak as necessary, or even replace
the section. Replace bushes & screws as necessary. Remember the screws are not fitted tight but
should be locked into the correct position using dome nuts.

For cars which have had the original plastic studs on the bodywork replaced with the bright metal
type (part no. 610624), the buttons and sockets on the rear corners of the hood should be replaced
with the following parts:

SILVER BUTTON, durable dot

7H9866
METAL SOCKET, durable dot

(... because metal/plastic studs & sockets will not fit each other).
To make a tidy professional job of replacing either metal or plastic sockets in your hood you will
require the following tool.

HOODS & TONNEAU

Tonneau & Hood Stowage Covers


Hood Stowage Cover
There are two specific types of hood stowage covers, one for non hard-top cars, and the other for
when a factory hardtop is fitted (and the hood is left folded in the car). The two types dont
interchange, as the latter is shaped to match the inside ledge of the hardtop. The original style
hood cover includes wire hooks to fasten the cover to the hood frame. Reproduction covers use
durable dots on elastic straps.

Paint & Colour Codes


Moss Classic Car Colours
Moss Europe has a division (called Classic Car Colours) that specialises in the production of spray
& touch-up paints. If there is sufficient demand to re-instate a colour, we will do our utmost to
include it in our range.
Here is a list of the colours used on the Spitfire MkIV & 1500. The colours are carefully blended to
be an exact match to the original paint as used by the factory, but it is worth observing that your
car may well have faded from its original colour over the years. For this reason before you start,
we recommend that you do a test spray of any aerosol on a piece of old metal or a carefully
selected area of the car where a mismatch will not be noticed. The boot or spare wheel area is
often a convenient place to do your testing.
We can supply paint in either aerosol or brush-on format. The aerosols come in 300ml cans and
the brush-on paints are available in 125ml cans with a brush in the cap (except for engine and
chassis paints, which are supplied in 500ml tins).

Colour Codes to 1976


The Triumph paint code will be found stamped on the commission number plate of your car and
the last digit indicates the base reference colour.
For example:
1 = Black, 2 = Red, 3 = Brown, 4 = Yellow, 5 = Green, 6 = Blue, 7 = Purple, 8 = Grey, 9 = White

Colour Codes from 1976


A three letter coding system was introduced in 1976, and can be found on the commission number
plate (to 1979) or the Vehicle Identification Number (from1979). In this system, the first letter
denotes the base reference colour:
For example:
A = Brown, C = Red, F = Yellow, H = Green, J = Blue, N = White, P = Black.

General Hardware & Fixings


Following is a listing of the common fasteners used on MG cars.
These fasteners are for general use and are not intended to
replace those listed for specific applications elsewhere in this
catalogue. To aid identification by terminology, a screw is
threaded for its full length. A bolt is only part threaded with a
plain unthreaded shank area between the head and the thread.
The part number two letter prefix of SH means that the item is
a Screw with a Hexagon head. The prefix BH means a Bolt with
a Hexagon head. The first number defines the thread type, UNF
= 6, UNC = 5. The second and third numbers give the thread
diameter in increments of 1/16, e.g. 04 = 1/4, 05 = 5/16,
10 = 5/8. The fourth and fifth digits show the length in
increments of 1/8, e.g. 04 = 1/2, 16 = 2, 23 = 2 7/8. The
last digit defines finish, 1 = zinc plated. This coding system is
only applicable to bolts and screws; nuts & washers are coded
by a similar system that follows some of the above principles.

Paint & Colour Codes


Here is a list of the colours used on the Spitfire MkIV & 1500. The colours are carefully blended to be an exact match to the original
paint as used by the factory, but it is worth observing that your car may well have faded from its original colour over the years. For
this reason before you start, we recommend that you do a test spray of any aerosol on a piece of old metal or a carefully selected
area of the car where a mismatch will not be noticed. The boot or spare wheel area is often a convenient place to do your testing.
We can supply paint in either aerosol or brush-on format. The aerosols come in 400ml cans and the brush-on paints are available
in 125ml cans with a brush in the cap (*except for engine and chassis paints, which are supplied in 500ml tins).

Colour Codes to 1976


The Triumph paint code will be found stamped on the commission number plate of your car and the last digit indicates the base
reference colour. (See illustration below).
For example:
1 = Black, 2 = Red, 3 = Brown, 4 = Yellow, 5 = Green, 6 = Blue, 7 = Purple, 8 = Grey, 9 = White.

Colour Codes from 1976


A three letter coding system was introduced in 1976, and can be found on the
commission number plate (to 1979) or the Vehicle Identification Number (from1979).
In this system, the first letter denotes the base reference colour.
For example:
A = Brown, C = Red, F = Yellow, H = Green, J = Blue, N = White, P = Black.
