The 'E' Type Forum

What ? No flag for us Canucks?

After four years and leaks even with double clamps , I bought the above hose. Problem solved.

I can vouch for Browns Lane. Tom was very helpful with parts and advice during my rebuild. There will still be Canada Post to British Columbia to pay though.

Wow....that head is really something ! And fuel injection AND cold air intake AND custom exhaust AND stroker kit

Excellent !
Should be a simple fix. Thanks All

Spotted this the other day. It wasn't loose. Obviously over heated. Cause? Possibly high alternator output? Regulator issues ? It is a Flamethrower coil and ignition with a new direct wire lead from ignition switch which is on a relay and fused at 5 amps ( not the wire just the switch ) I understand...

One down , one to go. This has not been a breeze. The parts from Monocoque metal works are fine. However the chrome surround, PTE lens , rubber lens seal and bonnet require MUCH fettling to agree with each other . Including grinding the PTE lens to fit the chrome surround.All before the heart stoppi...

Looks great Ed, nice work. Thanks for the additional tips. I note that series one headlight dishes do not seem to available at this time so series two 's will have to be modified. My headlight bulkheads are in ( great panels but fettling required due to bonnet variations ) sugar scoops pre fitted an...

I have had one for four years now and used it numerous times. It has been great but is not perfect. It is barely long enough to reach the jacking points for the E-type, but a modification to the rubber support blocks and has worked fine with careful placement. Access is best from front and rear only...

Great photos , once again Ed. I am still fettling with my headlight bulkheads, i see you have done so too. Some of my bonded bonnet supports have come loose as well. I have also found that series one headlight shells are unavailable and have had to cut and modify series 2's. despite being labeled as...

Hi Ed , Thanks again for posting. Are you using spacers on the sugar scoop bolts or double nuting them ( or both ) Here is where I am to date. Still waiting on parts, they appear to be " covid delayed" Cheers, Keith https://i.postimg.cc/Sszvb6Zx/C1-FA74-F3-2-C25-4132-BE9-E-1754774-A64-D9.jpg https:/...

Ho Ho Ho !
Merry Christmas to All !

Hi Ed,
Its looking good.
I am taking notes. Thanks for trouble shooting problems I will soon encounter and the great pics too. What paint did you use on the scoops?
Regards,
Keith

Thanks Phil,
Just curious , what is new and improved about SNG's Ex manifolds ?
The US website mention little.

Jealous ! Forth snowfall here and salt every where on the roads. I miss driving her already. But , tis the season for a steering rack rebuild and my headlight conversion parts are on order too so its off to the garage for me.
Cheers All,
Keith

Yep , two years later , there is little paint left on them. So next is VHT flat black and maybe a buff?.However I see VHT makes a semigloss ( read satin ) clear. I may do the flat , cure it ,buff, then satin, cure it and see if it will buff. I have tried silver VHT on my MG TD and looks great ten ye...

Hi Ed, Not sure if this of any help. Took some pics yesterday that may be of interest . ( My part time job is restoring E-Types, currently working on four ) Appears to be a tab that just presses against the sugar scoop. There is no right angle lip under it. The scoop also seems to rest on the flange...

Looking good Ed. Following with great interest. Hacksaw worked a treat !

Hmmm...just thinking the lead would be softer than steel. Perhaps you might keep cutting , maybe the steel flanges would guide the blade. Might the bumpers have to come off ?
Flange fit looks good. How do you verify the glass fit before permanently attaching the flanges?
Cheers

Ya I was thinking about that . It would be an incomplete job not to ad the seam and chrome trim back.
The pictures helped. Would it be possible to Undo the fasteners and hacksaw blade/cut the slot back in and ad the correct chrome trim ?
I wonder is the seam lead filled or body filler ?
