Looks good. Great idea using a grill from another triumph model. Oh, that Facebook group, for anyone interested. Triumph Spitfire Restoration and Support. There's many other Spitfire and/or GT6 ones too.
It does help, I don't see the bonnet bouncing from pressure at high speeds like it used to. I can reach forward while driving and feel the heat coming out of the vents so they definately help out a good bit.
Ignition parts seem to be plenty far enough away. I've been driving through all sorts of weather like this for many months with no issues. This car is my year round daily driver.
The Spitfire is my year round daily driver. At this point I'm up to two 69 gt6s, a 69 spit, and the convertible 69 gt6 that I'm building in addition to this 76 spit. I'm hoping to get back on one of the gt6s in a year or two. I'm going all out on the cgt6 with tons of custom work so it's going fairly slow as I build my skill level up.

Great Job! I've been wanting to put GT6 top and side vents in my bonnet.
my fav are gt6 vents.
Great job and it looks good!!
Thanks!
fantastic work mate!
Thanks!
Thats a good look!
Thanks!
Looks great. Ive got a red 79. Did the vents help with the bonnet pressure? How does it work when driving? Any difference in heat?

Looks good but I would be worried about all the water hitting your ignition parts.

Thanks!
Why are you working on a Spitfire when you have a GT6b
