The 'E' Type Forum

Understood. Its a rare piece.

Is the miniature plastic grey lawnmower for sale?

My e type has been missing one of these since I got it.

Been looking for one for ages.

Shouldn't be too tight, might just gently tap off.

If not, rig up a pulley like this using the original damper bolt with some thick washers.

Lets see some pictures of your wheel arches with the different tyres on David, please.

Red Top.

Very nice indeed Eric

Nice one Malcolm.

More like this though?

Looks aside, many of the racers and collectors I know are using Optima batteries. They use absorbed glass matting, seem to last for ages and produce loads of amps. Very suitable for a car that spends much time doing nothing that has a large engine. The Optima battery charger is amazing too. https://...

One thing I did find with adjusting the linkage is the importance of the throttle pedal stop bolt. I spent hours adjusting my carbs. Perfect idle. Perfect full throttle. Perfect synchronisation. Then I would go for a drive and put my foot down. Come to a junction, let my foot off and then have an id...

A box 63cm by 32cm and a few cm deep should do it

Morning Jeremy The carbs are tucked up in a box with the intake, air filter and plenum, 123 tune distributor and linkages ready to go back on my next project. I was going to reuse the whole lot (they were rebuilt in 2016), but I had in mind one of those foam filters that dangle off the plenum, occup...

Sounds good.

But it doesn't exist unless you post some pictures.

The highest bid on the S1 OTS was £36,000, I was watching.

Unsold but still up for grabs if you phone Brightwells.

If the air filter looks like this, I recommend it. It filters the air is re usable after a clean and sounds great.

If you are going to go to the trouble to erect a workshop you really want a 2 post lift. Make sure your clear ceiling height is enough! I have access to a scissor lift, a 2 post and a 4 post lift and have been using them for the last 30 years. 4 posts are good for structural welding work when you wa...

What, one of these?

Very nice pictures.

My car was rebuilt with your bits and pieces.

Thanks Julian.

Can you get some Koolmat in please?

On a slight tangent, I managed to destroy Series 1 SWB prop-shaft a while ago by fracturing the yoke, using a large press to remove the UJ. The UJ must of got caught on a burr or something as 80 tonnes pushed down on it. I started to look for a replacement, they are readily available from the usuals...

Well it looks great, so if it aint broke dont fix it. You will need to check it thoroughly though. Check safely items though, you will probably have some issues. As John says, if you are happy with the appearance and it needs no welding then your first job must be to wax it. Get into all those box s...

Maybe you have defective low brake fluid level indicators in the reservoir and a stuck reaction valve at the end on the master cylinder. 1)With the ignition on, unscrew the brake reservoir cap and float. Invert in whilst looking at the light and see if the light flashes as you push the float switch....
