Hi Nick
I have given this some more thought.  The Moss Motors website contains many exploded diagrams of both the MG Midget and the Triumph Spitfire.  I think that if you browse around the site you may find the information that you need.  A good starting point is this link:

http://www.moss-europe.co.uk/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=2921

From here, you can use the tabs to view other pages.

Without knowing which engine and gearbox you are trying to use, and whether you have an overdrive or not, I cannot really take this any further.  

I hope this helps.
