The 'E' Type Forum

:oops: HI Forumites My E-type has had low oil pressure at Hot idle 10 psi since it was rebuilt by my self in 2014 . while Checking over my E-type over,[just before the 60th meet at Shelsey Walsh] i noticed an oil leak from the PRV on the oil filter head, on removing the complete head I found the ga...

RE rear TL gasket housing to body seal. I had a rubber kit from SNG (20 yrs ago) tried to put the gaskets on the RH one was about 1/8 in short. The LH was about 1/4 in short. That's bad enough but after getting the right one on, there was a gap between edge and body, I used dum dum on the RH. But th...

Black with biscuit hides.

Runner up Gunmetal Gray with Cinanmon

very kind offer. But, not necessary. I just painted mine and am having second thoughts about the look.

Is your front suspensions plated or painted?

TIA

Well, those were the days, weren't they, David?

I agree. I replaced the PO's wooden one with an original style heavy one and it did improve the shifting.

I have one on my 66, it is straight and horizontal yours appears to be bent a bit.

Yeah! That' s the unit I want to have but, do not. Good pic. Thanks.

The new pin is for the spring return clutch slave. The lower pin in the photo is for the hydrostatic self adjusting slave. https://s11.postimg.org/fvg8urclf/clutch_slave.jpg The pin goes through the boss, spring attached then spring washer, plain washer and split pin. alternatively you can hook the...

https://s2.postimg.cc/6a006dn89/clutchpinold_Nnew.jpg I am trying to post a pic above of the new and old clutch pin. I don't see how I can put this pin in, retain with spring/washer/pin and have anyplace to hook the spring on? The vendor sent me this setup. The old pin also has no place for the spr...

I'm considering protection for the bonnet areas over the front tires. Hot rodders with steel body cars use a rubber/foam padding material to protect against stone dings appearing in the outer surface of the fenders. Removable alternative to undercoating. Probably not a solution for the floor, howev...

HI, Timely thread, this is. My car has been sprayed underside with Body Schotz (?sp). How ever I sprayed the pontoons and floor cross members internallly with Eastwood Chassis Protector. This being very thin I discovered some few "leaks" on the underside. Both sills where they curve under the floor ...

thanks,
Once I actually bought the tickets there was contact info in the confirming e mail. so I was able to contact them for questions.

Have purchased 2 day tickets, Fri and Sat.

Looking forward to it. It's my reward for being dragged about Shakespeare country by SWMBO

if buying tickets online Fri and Sat for adm and roving, the site says tickets will be sent post or signed courier or pick up. What happens if the purchaser is in the US. There is no quote for extra postage and no way to even tell if courier is available and if so how much? does anyone know? Track s...

Wow. (feelings of inadequacy )

If you're coming all that way it wouldn't make much sense to go for just one day. You could easily (and happily) spend a day looking round the paddock and a day watching the races: trying to do both in day is quite hard work! The weather can go either way. Last year the weather on the Sunday was ab...

Hi Bill.....there is lots of hardstanding...its at the racetrack...however most of the car park is just in a field.....have you looked on youtube there are lots of videos that will show you what its like.....all the best.. Steve I've really found only some nice racing clips. Nice but don't show you...

Did we live in the Golden Days of motoring (50's and 60's) or do all generation feel that way? From my point of view I loved the fact that every make of car looked different and you could tell the different makes from a mile off. Be it Minis , Escorts, Jaguars, Hillman or whatever. Or was it becaus...
