The 'E' Type Forum

Hi gents, I have two bolts, 2 3/8" x 7/16" (possibly UFB 131/19R) with a half depth head, which I set aside whilst stripping the rear suspension. I thought, (as I'm sure many of us have done), that these odd bolts were obvious where they went so I didn't put them in a bag and labelled them! Now I am...

Hi Gents, Yep, I can confirm that Chris's blog is back up and running. Brilliant news and such a relief for all of us who have used his blog on a regular basis. Many thanks to all who responded to my initial post and for all the suggestions. At least this valuable resource is available again to us a...

Hi Steve and Michael,

Many thanks for your help. I have checked the archive and the link works great. I will also send Chris a PM to see if he can somehow sort out the Error at his end.

Many thanks.

George

Hi Steve,

Not having much luck. Got his profile but cannot get his email address. When I click on "send Chris an email" I am presented a page which still requires me to insert his email address. The only address I have returns the HTTP ERROR 500 message. Any other ideas?

Many thanks.

George

Hi Steve,

Many thanks for that - I will have a look and see if I can contact him.

Yours aye,

George

Hi Geoff,

Yes I agree, a most valuable source of information. Hopefully someone who is able to contact Chris will see our posts and get it up and running again.

Yours aye,

George

Hi gents, I have been trying to open Chris Vine's webpage, "E-Type Rebuild by category" and keep getting the error message, etype.chrisvine.com HTTP ERROR 500 and the page obviously won't open. Has anybody else found this problem and if so, have you found a solution? I think the Error Code HTTP 500 ...

Hi Tim,

That's what I thought so thanks very much for the confirmation. Fortunately the cage is out so it should be straight forward enough ......... after the fight to get the tank in first!

Yours aye,

George

Hi Gents, I cannot find information of how the fuel tank mounting bracket and its associated reinforcement plate are actually fitted to a S1 OTS. It is obvious that the mounting bracket is fitted inside the boot but what about the reinforcing plate? Is it fitted inside the boot or is it fitted outsi...

Gents, Many, many thanks to all who responded to my cry for help regarding the C17410 Speedo Cable Clip. I have now managed to fit it ...... not a simple job but doable with patience :salute: Once again, the collective minds of the Forum have come up trumps - thank you :thankyouyellow: Yours aye, Ge...

Hi Ian,

Many thanks for the picture. It is hard to identify exactly where the clip is bolted to. Can you please tell me exactly where on the car this picture is taken?

Thanks for your help and I look forward to hearing from you.

Kindest regards,

George

Hi Gents,

I have the RHD Speedo Cable Clip C17140 but am unsure where it attaches.

Does any kind member of the Forum have any pics of exactly where this clip fits on a S1, 4.2 OTS?

Many thanks and kind regards,

George

Hi Steve,

Brilliant topic and all well explained. I have downloaded the article and printed out the wiring diagrams. Very, very useful thank you.

Kindest regards,

George

Hi Danny,

Great help -

That's one issue done ....... now to continue with the alternator debacle

Many thanks Danny,

Yours aye,

George

Hi David and many thanks for replying. I have posted a picture of my alternator showing the connections available. Can you assist further in how I should connect this up and which wires go where? Also, I will fit a Battery Voltage gauge instead of the Ammeter. Am I right in saying that all I need to...

Hi Merek, Just downloaded a S3 wiring diagram and regretfully, not only does the wiring of the alternator show a separate regulator but also an ignition warning light switch which was deleted from the early S1 ! I'll keep trying anyway and hopefully a forum member will be able to give me a wiring di...

Hi Merek,

Many thanks for your very speedy reply.

I'll look for a S3 wiring diagram and try to work from there.

Thanks so much

Kind regards,

George

Hi Gents, I have an alternator with built-in regulator (ACR) fitted to my Series 1 4.2 OTS. Also, I have a Battery Voltage gauge fitted instead of the Ammeter. Can any kind owner help me out with how these two units are wired into my new Autosparks loom. Autosparks supplied an Alternator Wiring Harn...
