The 'E' Type Forum

Hello all experts, I wonder if someone has a guess and could point me in the right direction. I’m helping a friend with his completely restored s1 1967 car. When you brake it stops perfectly but with a delay when the system return the fluid and completely release the brakes. My main question is if I...

Yes that's correct. The lid is pressed on and not supposed to open at all but this one did. When the airfilter is of it’s not easy to hear airleakage from the vaccum side.

Hello everybody and hope you all are doing fine despite the situation at the mement Maybe this is obvious but I write anyway. I had an S2 for service 3 carb car with rough idling and also a quite uneven run when driving. After quite som fine tuning of the carbs and ignition it ran quite well slighty...

Thank you very much I will try and see what might help the situation

Hello everybody! I have just restored the master and servo cylinder on my 1966 4.2 fhc. The problem now seems to be that the fluid have some return issues. With engine off at first there are perfect pedal preassure but slowly when pumping the pedat it builds up brake preassure. If I then start the e...

Unfortunately the type p are not the same as the original

Hello everybody! During my restoration I have found that it´impossible to find the original type of tall 1/4 & 5/16 Nyloc nuts that Jaguar used on quite a few places. Maybe someone know if there is a readily availiable source but otherwise I had a thought that if there was a general interest it wold...

Thanks for the reply and I will keep that in mind. Unfortunately I’m on my way to Coventry and Jaguar now. Will try to be a bit earlier next time.

Hello everybody!

I’m on a quick trip to Isle of Wight this Sunday evening and was just wondering if there is some one on this Forum that also is on Wight and would like to grab a Pint this Evening?

Best Regards Johan

I have tried all the common suppliers and none has so far been able to come close to the original that is somewere between gold and brown in color.

Ungortunately not they have the other materials but not carpet and moquette.

Hello everybody!

Does anyone know any source that can supply the correct carpet and moquette for a 1965 Light Tan interior? It seems impossible to find.

Regards Johan

You are correct Steve regarding the name of the car thats at least what was possible to register in uk in the old days. But this is not intended for uk so I thought a question wouldn’t harm

Hello everybody!

Probably a strange question but anyway. Does anyone have registration papers (V5C) for sale stating a Jaguar Sport registered Before 1966?

Regards Johan

Could it be some kind of additive in the fuel that has been mixed in totally wrong proportion? Or oil/water from the crankcase breather pipe?

Regards Johan

If it’s of any help I have made a few for my C type project in brass because they are the same. I can make another one but you have to sort out the chrome yourself.

Hello everybody!

Does anyone know if it´s possible to find the chrome beading pipe that runs along the "Crash Roll" roof cantrail on a FHC? It´s a round tube with a slit exactly the same type as on the bonnet to wing beading but slightly smaller in diameter.
Part nr BD.24414

Thanks Steve!

That looks really nice. My intension was to install it myself but maybe get help with the seats.

The footer says 1965 fhc but sorry for the name

Regards Johan

By the way I also have a C-type project going.

Anyone with an interior from Aldridge that would like to post some images?

Thanks that was exactly the reply I was looking for. Would be very interesting to compare with Aldridge, John Skinner and S&T
