Hello Spitfire and GT6 fans. Most of us have had the pleasure of driving our favorite Little British Cars for years, during which time we witness a few quirks. Although noted, they tend to become part of the British car charm. Some little quirks are safety problems, though. We’ve solved some of those issues.
Our goal is to develop inexpensive products that are affordable to all owners. Whether you seek, say, door panels or a dashboard, or Dive-Planes, we developed a full line of low-cost products.
Even the ‘newest’ model of Spitfire was discontinued 45 years ago as of 2025. The first ones in 1962 are now 63 years old.
In short, old, brittle wiring with only 3 glass fuses can now be upgraded to a modern 12-fuse block with modern fuses, wires, bullet (or spade) connectors, split-loom and heat-shrink tubing. It may not be necessary to replace the whole wiring harness, but it’s easy and affordable to install new wires and fuses!
We released Magna-Lock3 now. Gen 3! That bonnet prop rod never locks. Ever notice how easily you can move it off-center to lower your bonnet? Our Magna-Locks for your bonnet prop are just $26.00. Cheap health insurance!
As part of our new DIY line, we offer a door panels kit that is a $90 savings over our pre-upholstered panels. You apply the foam & vinyl onto the new door cards. Kits include 2 each cards, 2 each foam & vinyl sheets cut to size & shape.
Another DIY project that’s easier than you might think… those warped, de-laminating dashboards. Apply your own varnish to a dash with your choice of veneer and literally save over $300 +
We’ve already got John in the shop studio recording a series of ‘How-To’ videos that walk you through every step of our complete DIY line installs.
