The 'E' Type Forum

To me it looks like a mismatched pair of front and rear overriders. The one in the picture on the right looks like a front R/H and the other one with the gap like a rear R/H; still sloped wrong. It could be a crappy repro.

It does look nice! The AVON cross-ply CR39 Supersafety 640-15 are made for a top speed of 130km/h, according to the German AVON website. I thought already that this fits to a car that may not see spirited driving any more (like my 3hour drive today on narrow Bavarian roads - with 185/15 Michelins). ...

and, I suppose, it was not your 1st fuel filter bowl that you cleaned. One more and you need a fresh bottle

E-Type 1st , but you can vote yourself.

This is a nice riddle for the afternoon. There are ...at least 3 different tyres shown: wide white wall, narrow white wall, black wall ...3 different licence plates, no plates, dark front plate, light front plate ...3 different dash panels: with radio, blanked out radio, with two gauges instead of r...

To dry the wheels after spraying them with cleaner and rinsing with water, I have followed the recommendation of a fellow forum member and use a leaf blower. Works great!

Hi Mich, me again. Looking at the John Skinner Website and pictures, they show exactly your underdash hardura pattern. https://www.john-skinner.co.uk/jaguar/e-type-fixed-head-coupe-fhc-series-1-3-8ltr/#trim For the 2+2 it looks different and a RHD has the cutout for the accelerator pedal on the lowe...

Yes, hard to tell from the picture, but BD.22348 are the smaller ones for the hinged extension https://i.postimg.cc/3WMx5q4k/2-CE8-A9-DC-C154-4-CCD-92-C0-C40757-A940-B8.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/x8N1ZQCr/8-CA19-A0-E-FDDA-40-A9-A09-F-0503-A6-EB0-CCA.jpg The Bresco reference is "Latch Clip.

I have a similar Hardura panel left over, because a very large 4 way flasher switch is installed on the left side of the steering column on mine. It does look a bit different, though and I got it from Aldridge. The straight edge needs to go to the outboard side of a L/H drive S1. https://i.postimg.c...

a couple of months ago, an AUDI A3 pulled up at a red light in the lane next to me and the young driver asked me, if my car is an F-Type, or an E-Type . So it may be more a general thing; cars are not so important any more - the F-Type was surely younger than him.

Hi Marek, Just gone through this investigation process last week. My investigation showed that the only one that could say that it was 100% entanol free was Esso Supreme 97 RON. I was putting Shell V Power in my E Etype, but have recently found that it can contain up to 5% ethanol. Kind regards Mik...

no Allen bolt, but on the the door are the armrests. You need 2 per armrest.

It isn't my idea, but Dana's :idea: (Lost Horizon) http://forum.etypeuk.com/viewtopic.php?p=101867#p101867 :thankyouyellow: I thought that this idea deserves credit and it applies not only to a Series 2 XKE. My used BMW jack (EUR25) was easy to modify and works great without effort. It is also very ...

...but you can only watch it on BBC with an IP address in the U.K. :banghead: Luckily, the E-Type episode of "The Car's the Star" can be found also on Youtube :bouncyyellow: part 1 of 2 https://youtu.be/RfcsEbMqRMY part 2 of 2 https://youtu.be/Obne3vrPm94 I just flipped through the 7 pages of the Co...

Richard, I have used a (metric :thumbdown: ) M5 stainless dome nut (DIN917) and I would do it again! The sharp edges of a protruding setscrew could damage the luggage. The 3.8 parts handbook :studyinggray: calls for your E for 2 standard nuts UFN.119/L UFN. Fine Thread Nut, non-locking 1 Standard He...

Hi Christopher & all, the name MAZAK is unfamiliar to me. You probably mean ZAMAK or ZAMAC (zinc, aluminium, magnesium and copper) for die casting. Prototype stamping dies are are also made from this alloy. BTW the chrome on my taillights is fine, the reflectors behind the bulbs could use some treat...

without looking at the parts book for a 4.2 (mine is a 3.8), it refers to PVC for the decorative material only. The covers themselves are made of steel - they need to be, because I had to pull and stretch the top material quite a bit to get it applied without wrinkles.

Roberto, that was a bad start to what I hope could still have a Happy End! In a few days I am going celebrate my 1st year as a member of this forum and I have enjoyed it very much. I am just mentioning this, because I do not think that I am an authority in what’s wrong or right for this forum. I per...
