The 'E' Type Forum

Ralph, that is just showing off!

Pete, I couldn’t afford to sell you one of mine so I’m really glad you like the standard one!

Hi Marcel,

Sorry but we are now sold out of this pipe and am unsure when we will have more in stock.

Both my E types are in the workshop and I can’t move any of the cars in the way to get one home for some Uber tinkering let along drive!

Yours should have had the captive bolts and notched bumpers Jeremy. Rory’s should be bolted through the body.

It won’t just be the nut you'll need. You will need to replace the bushing inside the gearstick as well.

We always take care to fit the tank sump to the tank outside of the car first. Just to make sure it screws up fully and smoothly. Also check alignment of the hole in the boot and the sump. Don't forget the doughnut between tank and body. Don't overtighten the sump as you will risk the seal being dam...

Looks lovely but I’m more concerned about that white prop holding the boot lid open. I mean at least paint it in body colour!

Malcolm, who rebuilt your engine?

The 5/16 ones that go on the studs pointing down.

Don’t forget the copper washers.

Well done Pete. Can’t wait to buy it!

Richard Smith does them I believe.

Richard, those grommets done come with the kit. Best thing to do is fit all the grommets first as per the list that comes In the packet then start laying in the loom.

I can’t speak for other restorers but we never ask for money up front. We only invoice for works completed and parts purchased for each customer. On some of our larger restorations, a number of customers have transferred money up front. We open a separate savings account for them and when an invoice...

Great forum and brilliant people. Let’s hope 2020 is a great year and Merry Christmas to everyone. Look forward to welcoming some of you to our next Open Day!

I had a brass float let go a couple of months ago. Luckily it was in the garage. Have now swapped both cars with plastic as the thought of that happening on Eurostar doesn’t bear thinking about!
