About Jim
Expertise
My area of specialty is the Triumph Spitfire 1500 (1973-1980) although I have some technical experience with the GT6 and TR6 models also. I can cover questions on all areas of the Spitfire, from basic mechanical questions to where to find original style seat covers and soft tops. I am not an expert on the TR2/3/4 models. If you need specific detailed help with these models I first recommend obtaining a good repair manual such as the Robert Bentley manual for your particular model.

Experience
I have been a Spitfire owner for 20 years and have done all my own repair work. On the Spitfire I've done just about everything except mount and balance tires.

In addition to street use I have been autocrossing a Spitfire with the SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) in Modified class since 1997.

Organizations
Red River Triumph Club
SCCA (Sports Car Club of America)
NASS (North American Spitfire Squadron)
FOT (Friends of Triumph)

Triumph Repair - Single rail gearbox -Spitty 1500

Expert: Jim - 10/12/2009

Question
Do you happen to have gear counts for the spitfire 1500 single rail box. I have a mixture of gears and am not sure what they are- e.g 2nd gear both 25 and 26 teeth. If i can get the original tooth count- i will be able to assemble the main shaft with the "correct" ratios to fit the original Laygear.
Thanks

Answer
Roger,

Sorry, I don't have the tooth counts for the single rail gearbox ratios.

You might try some of the specialist Triumph parts suppliers. If you don't have a local dealer you can always try some of the web based specialists such as Rimmer Bros (www.rimmerbros.co.uk).

Cheers,

Jim
