Re: Seat serie2 into serie 1
Hi Geoff I already have the MX5 seats in my car, Angus having strongly recommended them to me you can imagine! Sitting all the way back, I have to recline the backrest a lot to get my upper body in the correct position, but my legs aren't in as comfortable position as they were in my coupé with the ...

Seat serie2 into serie 1
Hi all,
I would like to change a serie 1 seats
Did someone could tell me if it's easily interchangeable with those of serie 2 ?
Thanks
Mich

Hi Mats Beautiful car :bigrin: https://forum.etypeuk.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8291&start=20 I had already thought about this problem of course. As for the height, I agree with you, it's too low without question. As for the central position, they are at the same level as those in the Jaguar document. ...

Re: Seat belts OTS
Hi all, Update. I've found the third point for my seat belts. I was looking for it at the top as indicated on the jaguar documents, but in fact it was lower and much more logically below the soft top when folded. I just needed to remove the plastic screw and make the holes in the lining. https://i.p...

Re: Jet centring method
Without spring, the piston fall down slowly and progressively, that's correct!
From the factory, each piston are paired with his " bell"
Don't sand the piston...
As the piston are close to the bell, even if you have a spring the sound can't be very hard but metallique anyway

Re: Jet centring method
Sorry, I don't agree. When the carburettor is removed from the car , the piston makes a metallic sound when it hits the "bridge" which is normal for 2 metal parts hitting each other. . It all depends on what you mean by thud and metallic sound. The sound is not that of a hammer on a good anvil, whic...

Re: Jet centring method
Hi Phil,
You say that without the diaphragm/jet you don't get any metallic noise when the piston falls ? That's surprising.
Is the piston stroke free, without obstacles?
Do you put the piston upright as it is into the engine?

Re: Could this be the cause?
Hi,
Don't you have simply the "hot key" syndrome ?
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6885&hilit=Ignition+relay
I had this and put a relay as explain. Work fine now.

Hi all Could someone give me some details about this passage ( Jaguar seat belts / Fitting instructions ) My problem is the rear anchorage of course. I don't want the retractable seat belts. https://i.postimg.cc/j2mLgbSW/Capture-d-cran-2023-12-29-130240.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/mD6DksMd/Sh-ma-OTS.jp...

Re: sound proof on transmission tunnel
Hi Steve,
Normally, there are 2 snaps on the floor that receive the opposites attached to the left trim.
It's not glued, of course.
For this special point, I recommend you look at a well-restored E-Type.

I think my pressures are good except sup 60 for the cold start.

I wait for a mecanical gauge to see the real pressure at cold.

Re: Pb with mecanical oil pressure gauge
Hi Sorry for the unit pressure mistake : You must read 25 at 40 Lb. My gauge is the original. This morning I dismantled the filter head and checked and cleaned the valves. It's such a simple system, I wonder how it doesn't work. What I understand: With a poor seal of the coper relief head there is a...

Hi Thank you all for your diagnosis and advice. The parts have been ordered. I won't have time to work on the car before a trip of about 2000 km to Chambery in the French Alps. With few motorway sections. I don't think that having too much starting pressure is dangerous (as opposed to too little) bu...

Pb with mecanical oil pressure gauge
Hi all, Have you had any problems with the Classic Quality (Tim Goldthorp) oil pressure gauge? The 2 gauges gauges that he supplied me ( 1 in exchange ) leaked and filled with oil after very little use. My car is a serie 1-1965. My engine has about 10,000km since its restoration. My oil pump is stan...

Re: Replacement steering wheel surround.
Hi Mats
Yes the aluminium is just polished.
For the glue you must concider that the steering wheel is going to support sun and moon.
Why don't you simply ask Nick ?
If I had to do this, I used PU glue to join the 2 pieces and marine varnish for finishing
Hope its help
