Paul,
As per my photo, the OEM seal is pictured on the supplier’s box. If you look on their website it is shown as “Jaguar”, but on closer zooming in on their photo of the seal, you can see the “Lockheed” lettering.
Regards,
Dave

Re: Clutch fluid turning black..
Paul, Almost certainly the Clutch Slave Seal is wearing down. A common problem when potentially “generic” 7/8 inch seals are used as opposed to sourcing OEM parts. The original Lockheed 7/8 inch seal :- https://i.postimg.cc/9fgBP0Px/IMG-2256.jpg A generic 7/8 inch seal offered by various Sellers :- ...

Re: Milestone
Mikael,
I have been following your build and really well done.
Just love the paint colour and wondered what the paint origin was ?

Re: A small issue…
Hi Serge, No, it must be an optical illusion as both the old and new have a bore of 6.5mm where the needle taper point slider fits. Interestingly, with Webers there is a range of Needle valves of differing diameters in the seating area which are used depending on the fuel consumption rates and for f...

Sometimes small issues can actually turn out to be small items causing the problem.

Re: Engine breather arrangement when fitted Webers
Hi Steve, This is where my engine breather goes to the catch tank on my Series 1. I bought the alloy catch tank, modified the inlet to take a braided hose from the engine breather outlet, plus added an extra outlet so both filtered outlets let any vapour out to be potentially drawn into the Webers. ...

Open bonnet lock bracket

If the car is parked uphill or in windy conditions, to avoid unnecessary decapitation to oneself or a hapless spectator inspecting the engine, this loc...

Re: Differential Gear Oil- GL-5 or GL-4 with additive?
Paul, I’ve done a real quick “google” search tonight and found a potential supplier, but I can’t vouch for them or their stocks. It will be harder to find, but there are plenty of smaller suppliers who could still have it as I can’t believe all the UK stocks have been sold. https://www.vintageandspo...

Re: Differential Gear Oil- GL-5 or GL-4 with additive?
For Layne at Post #4. No problem with Redline “75w90 GL-5”, where that is the specific name on the label, but there are two versions. One is Redline “75w90NS”, which on some on-line forums states that means “No Sulphur” and has no friction modifiers, so I would be wary of using that version as it wo...

Re: Differential Gear Oil- GL-5 or GL-4 with additive?
As there have been no other replies, this is my opinion on those two oils. Both GL-4 and GL-5 are EP, (Extreme Pressure) oils. GL-5 has more EP additives than GL-4 and has a higher shock rating than GL-4. GL-4 gear oils are typically recommended for spur and helical gears such as found in manual tra...

Re: Oil Filter Sealing
I agree that the thinner seal is the one that I use on my Series 1 4.2 engine. In order to seal correctly - as with all oil filters - I put a thin smear of new oil on the new dry rubber seal and ensure the circular base of the filter housing is completely aligned in the groove before only tightening...

Sorry to join the party late - and return the post to boring technicality - but another solution giving more durability than a plain aluminium unit, (of whatever manufacturer), which would always remain prone to bore corrosion, is to simply send off the unit to be sleeved in stainless steel.
