Hi
Hutson secured me a Series 1 2+2 screen for my car
It was a perfect fit as there isn’t a lot of stock held about

Suggest give them a call

All
Thanks
Looks like I’m good to go
Pics a great help

Hi
That’s part of the problem no markings on the alternator body or plastic mouldings
Hope somebody has fitted one the same supplied by SNG

Thanks
Phil

Series 1 2+2 4.2 Hi New alternator supplied by parts supplier Have I got this wired correctly as no wiring diagram supplied. Don’t want to do any potential damage Thanks Phil https://i.postimg.cc/RFPB9d1k/2-AE5-AFB0-44-B7-4-C1-E-95-D1-14-D2837802-B6.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/rynVLVQD/C6-D91-AF9-6-CF8...

Hi guys Thanks for the reply’s Received the new pointer damper was ok so fitted pointer So took the cam covers off to check setting of cams See pics 1 and 6 are at tdc Cams align with marks and sectors Pointer is at virtually 0 degrees However the. Rotor arm is not pointing to number six Is this sim...

All I added the pointer on the sump as the engine didn’t have one I used the existing damper that was on the engine as it was in good order The engine had great oil pressure and only sump and head were removed Before removing Head all cams were aligned and fitted the same- would suggest if they were...

As Tom says looks like the xj6 damper instead of the etype

If that the case the set up shouldn’t be far wrong? Just need to get set at 10 degrees before and try again

Thanks both

Will get an xj6 timing pointer to fit and check
Anything I can check in the mean time
Thanks

Some pics to show how set up looks

E type series 1 2+2 Have come to the point of starting the car after a rebuild and I can’t get it to fire up? Really sound daft but I’m struggling to start the car Carbs have been rebuilt and set as per manual how do I tell if Number 1 and 6 are at tdc on compression and not exhaust (head is on car)...

Hi I completely concur with your comments and findings It’s awful and yes SNG have it wrong as the front bracket is ok and it’s the rear that doesn’t fit, As for the rear mount that’s just a waste of time and money and itS back to having to fabricate a poor fitting part yourself to fit as neither se...

Probably the answer but will need to strengthen a little plates no very thick
Cheers

Update So after an eventual response from Bell email asking who I purchased the exhaust from and can I send it back to Huston’s who will send it to SNG and then bell will collect it and will check it against the pattern, no mention of the clamps, and Email from SNG ref the clamps saying they know ab...

Hi all Thanks for the comments and suggestions all very helpfull No reply from the manufacturers yet( probably understandable in the current times) My only next step is to loosen further the clamps to the manifolds however I still don’t think this will give me much movement as the down pipes are ver...

Hi Purchased a complete exhaust to fit to my car Come to fit and can I heck get it to line up, I have attached some pictures to help explain The down pipes simply don’t line up sufficiently to attach the silencer boxes. Look like the bends are not sufficient to align, if I do twist the flexi joints ...

Jeremy
Thanks for this
Suspect I have the same issue here as the bracket just doesn’t sit flat on the internal panel as you say

Thanks for the suggestion may be the solution

Thanks
Phil

That’s brilliant thanks
Does the stay seem tight or have any bend in it
I will need to remove seam sealer applied at paint to find holes
Thanks
Phil

Series 1 2+2 Can anyone help with a picture of how the boot stay fastens to the inside of the boot Have the top part fitted to boot lid itself but the stay itself seems very tight and under tension when I try and press the bottom bracket back to the bulkhead is this correct? Any dimensions as to pos...

Hi
Many thanks
Phil
