The 'E' Type Forum

Mitch, I have (18)the hardura mat; it sits at the bottom of the 'box'. (20) is the lower bulkhead. It is (19) cubby box upstand I am having trouble with. I know on my car it should be vinyl covered on the outside, but is it also covered with vinyl on the inside? 1/2 m of vinyl could quite possibly c...

Hi Mich,

Thanks for your reply.
I mean the metal front piece that the folding board sits on to create a box.

Paul

Hi, The interior of my 65 car was far from original when I bought it. I am now in the process of retrimming it and I thought I would do it the hard way by buying materials instead of a trim kit. :doh: Can I ask a few questions: Is the back of the upstand behind the seats trimmed on both sides? If th...

Hi, I have Alloy Coopercraft 4 pot calipers on my E, but unfortunately it is not on the road yet. I do however also have cast iron? Coopercraft 4 pot calipers on my Jaguar 340 and they are like night and day compared to the originals. I have used standard discs with Green Stuff pads and they seem to...

Hi Tom,

Are you saying that this is a LHD rack that has been converted to a RHD rack?

That is new; can you elaborate?

This is the orignal one on my Series One FHC:

Hi Nick,

A picture would help us advise whether it is original or not.

Hi Carsten, I am sorry, I no longer have the original to measure. The Series Two stone guard is narrower and mounts further forward in the bonnet mouth. I have converted my Series One to Series Two size as I am fitting AC and needed more room in front of the radiator for the Condenser. I think that ...

Thank you Steve and Klaus, Klaus; yes I think you are right, the PVC refers to the covering in the parts manual as there is also a reference to a Moquette cover. So they are all steel; not sure about the different spacings for the screws though; I will study the different part numbers to see if they...

Hi, I have been wondering for a while whether my rear door hinge covers are original fitment. The parts book states that they are made of PVC (BD28173,BD28174 and BD28175). Mine are made of steel. The screws that hold them on are thicker than the originals too. I thought that perhaps a PO had used b...

Interesting; I was not aware there were different angled links.

However, blowing up your photo, it looks to me like the one on the far right is bent where the bolt is substituted for the rivet.

Hi Carsten, This is a picture of the left hand side as I was stripping the bonnet: https://i.postimg.cc/MThRMP8X/Picture-5104.jpg The right side: https://i.postimg.cc/ZRrYHVdW/Picture-5102.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/dQ5cYbwq/Picture-5103.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/0Q9hgf4M/Picture-5100.jpg Stoneguard: h...

Hi Geoff,

No they are not aftermarket, they are original, just blasted and painted.

I have painted mine with Simonze Wheel Steel. https://www.halfords.com/motoring/paints-body-repair/specialist-decorative-paints/simoniz-wheel-paint-steel-500ml It is a lot lighter colour than it would appear from the advert. I have used this on lots of parts and it seems very hard wearing. I have sp...

Hi Tadek,

It should look like this, although obviously in better condition :-)
