Attached below is information I hope other Spitfire owners find informative and useful. I also hope not to upset anyone by making it freely available to fellow enthusiasts.
Chassis Dimensions - From the original workshop manual for the Spitfire 4 (ie Mk 1) and Mk 2 Spitfires. I don't believe them all though!
Spare Parts Catalog Mk3 Spitfire. The numerical index includes a useful cross reference for parts used on other vehicles at the time. The numbers at the end of the links below are the range of page numbers contained in that file, ie if you need page 22 you will find it in the "05 Gearbox Pages 20-24" link.
