Description
Although it has been many years since the Triumph Spitfire was produced, the remaining number of functional examples that exist around the world is a testament to its ageless design and solid build quality.
The Triumph Spitfire Restoration Manual is for anyone who has a keen interest in owning a Triumph Spitfire but has limited mechanical experience. It will steer any budding restorer through the many challenges encountered when maintaining and/or restoring such a classic and demonstrates the basic principles and simple techniques that would normally be learned by working alongside an experienced mechanic.
Including helpful project tips and notes, which pass on a multitude of trade secrets, this book covers:
- Model numbering and serial plate locations
- Implementing a safety system for the workshop
- Photographs and diagrams detailing part breakdowns
- Technical data for mechanical specifications and torque settings
- Electrical wiring diagrams
- Modifications and changes made to the Spitfire as it evolved
