Cheap Upgrades

Panel to fit in the center console covering the ex-radio hole. Switches were $3 on ebay, and the piece of aluminum was free. I have ordered a second yellow switch which will displace the light to the far right.


I joined the 21st Century. The Spitfire got an electric windshield squirter. $12 at princess auto for the kit, including new jets, wiring, switch, pump and reservoir. The button seems almost mystic on the dash.

Reservoir and Pump
 To free up the space on the firewall shelf I mounted the reservoir on rails tucked in behind the frame on the passenger side. The rails mean it can quickly be removed for easier filling. Considering I never emptied the 750mL stock ball last summer, refilling is not a concern, especially with the larger reservoir.
