The 'E' Type Forum

James, Looking at it from above the door is sitting 1-2 mm in from the bulkhead line so it needs to come out a little so this would resolve it I think, so out of the four pillar bolts holding the hinge which one would you not undo so that I can adjust it and it does'nt drop ? Clearly this door has n...

Hi Angus,
No it's me that's was'nt thinking straight first thing in the morning
You are quite right, I will probably need to adjust the door correctly, thanks for the tip on the paper for gapping as I was wondering how to get it right without guesswork.

Thanks guys. I will try the lubricating the hinge first to see if it will make any difference and solve the problem :fingerscrossed: Failing that then I will need to adjust it, what worries me is that the door does not have a lot of space on the back or front edge gaps to move the alignment, so just...

Just noticed that my drivers door is now just touching when first opening the back edge of the bonnet / wing, how do I adjust this out to stop it damaging the paint further. Do I need some shims under the hinge plate to push it slightly further back or is there a better way of resolving this ? https...

There should also be a type of sound deadening material sitting on top of the wire mesh frame between it and the bonnet which you need to be sure to keep if it is still there as it is no longer available as a part number.
If it is missing I have found an alternative which works just as well.

Great clip filmed on the roads around Goodwood
As for the car, superb engineering at it's best, just not feeling it !
They only built seven of each of the specials before so ? and at what price - exclusivity

Just been ordering up some parts to service my e and David Manners Group currently has free UK P & P for the month of May 2020 and reduced shipping for overseas orders as well.

Looking at the wiring it's a modification by a previous owner.

Dont recognise it Grant ? Not on my FHC and your OTS is only a bit older

Hi Julian, Excellent work and big improvement, well done to the team. Two observations, hopefully I was using the system correctly: :studyinggray: My order history and details in my garage when logged in was out of date only showing 2 closed invoices from 2015/16. ? My car was originally a XKE with ...

I now much prefer the look of the coupe to the point I'm about to buy a series 1 (1964). Have I gone mad? :yeahthat: I think that you have already answered you own question, it's all about personal preference and most owners will usually prefer their own version whether it be an OTS or a FHC. I als...

I just decided to remove my personal number plate for retention from my car and return it to it's original plate and DVLA have decided that they want SGS to inspect my car before they will re-instate the original number plate. Apparently they now have to check 40% of applications. I think this is th...

Details not yet available on their website

Darren, The dashboard top is able to come out with the windscreen in place but it is not easy job as it is a very tight fit on the back edge to allow for the four threaded bots in the top to sit in the slotted brackets that hold it in place. I managed to get mine out and back three months ago but be...

Have a very merry Christmas and a Prosperous Healthy New Year in 2020 to everyone.

Now, is there anybody at your company that really really knows, and i mean really knows how to tune and set up a V12 PROPERLY.

You need to talk to MarekH (on the forum), I'm sure he will be along to advise shortly as his own improved V12 is "sweet", if not PM him
