Hello,

I have the same "problem" on my 3.8 pos earth with new wiring loom fitted.
green/brown = L
light green = P (2 wires)
green = B (X on my new flasher unit)

Just to say Robert, you're not alone.

I took the float out and yes, could hear the fuel inside. Should I order one or is it better to change the other 2 also ? What can you do when this occurs on a trip ? Engine cyl n? 3 and 4 are not working and fuel tank will be empty in a short time when trying to get at home by driving the car ! Tha...

Hi On my 3.8 fuel is coming out of the overflow pipe from the centre carburettor. I have fitted the float chamber lid from the front carburettor to the centre one with no result. May I suggest that the problem is not caused by the needle ? Carbs had a complete rebuild and car has covered less than 1...

Hello I-Wen,

Before blasting my cannister was painted black.

Hi Slips,

I have sprayed my hood frame with paint sourced from SNG Barratt.
Part number is CH2006.
BS 631 is a powder coating I think.

Good luck !

Hi Jaime,

I used brush on all purpose glue to fit the body rubbers.
Not all of the rubbers in my kit where made from the same material.
I had to use an adhesive silicone (also used in building construction) to fit the B-post rubbers for example.

Hi Thierry,

SNG Barratt supplied me a KPH face recently.
Part Number is KPHFace.
Good luck, Willys.

Thanks for the info Dave !

I have to drill the holes in my new boot lid to fit the "Jaguar" emblem.
Who wants to measure for me the distance from the upper edge of the
boot lid to the upper side of the emblem. I would like to have the emblem
fitted on the correct place.

Many thanks

Thank you Dave, I think I will have to buy another one.

The wheel is in the boot as you described. Thanks.

My spare wheel clamp is 8.7 cm long measured from the underside of
the clamp plate to top of thread. It's to short to hold the 5" spare wheel.
Who knows if I have the correct one ?

The partnumber for the spring is probably 400542 and will get it from
SNG Barratt. Thanks for your help.

Hi everybody,

Till now I have no drivers experience in E types. Is it useful to fit
an exterior mirror on the door or is it ok with interior mirror only ?
What's your experience ?

David,

Is there a partnumber for the spring I'm missing. I have looked in the
partsbooks but it's not described. Should it be available from one of
the usual suppliers ? Many thanks so far.

David,
On my new heater box (gloss black) I have the axle of the heater flap which should be connected with the cable lever that is fitted on an "on the box" welded axle. It's not fitted like yours.
Can you tell me how to post a picture to this forum ?

I have just installed a new heater box to my '64 car. The airflap does
not move when I operate the "OFF-AIR-ON" handle on the dash.
I would like to know how the axle of the airflap is linked with the
heater box lever whereon the cable is attached ? What am I missing here ?

I have chosen for the olive green ones. Thanks.

Thanks David, should they be available in tan, the same colour as my
header rail cloth ?
