The 'E' Type Forum

Hi Mike. Welcome to the forum. Always nice to see another fellow Canuck. Must admit I also snuck a look at some of the other photos. As a prarie resident I have always been jealous of the Ontario lake country. Unfortunately our lakes are not nearly as picturesque.

I would also cautiom you on buying a stored “rust free” cat. The one you are looking at has spent it’s life in Georgia a...

Nice looking car. Welcome.

Welcome. Sounds like you have a very nice reliable e type

Remove the switch and jumper the wires to check if the problem is in the wiring or in the switch. In both my e types I have had what you describe happen and both times it was a failure in the switch. The switch can be taken apart and repaired quite easily or replacements are available.

Hi John. I have not done it myself but it is almost surely doable as there is a small wiring harness available for sale. I see it periodically on ebay plus have seen it listed in the catalogue of one of the common vendors. Can’t remember which one.

Welcome Johnny. Beautiful car.

Hi Welcome to the forum. My 3.8 is a UK right hand drive that somehow ended up out here in the colonies. Bit of a novelty here in Canada.

Welcome to the forum and good luck with your search.

Welcome Peter. Looks like you have all your bases covered with a roadster and a 2+2.

Welcome. Have you already inspected the car or is it sight unseen? Either way here is hoping it exceeds your expectations. Purchasing an e-type is always exciting

Hello James. Welcome from me as well. Geoff.

Have you considered that while you may like the sound of loud engines the vast majority of the people who inhabit the areas you drive through do not. If you are using your car for track purposes I say go for it, but for the average street driven car the quieter the exhaust note the happier the gener...

Welcome to the forum. Beautiful car.

Joined about a month ago. Absolutely no problems with the site. Now my car is another story!

Try a little silicone spray on the seal to reduce the friction of the rubber. It will streak the glass for awhile but will clean up after a few cleanings. With luck your seal will remain non sticky enough after one or two applications.

Thanks to all for replies. Has anyone had experience with plastic media blasting?

I am a new member to the forum and cannot find a definitive answer about blasting media in the archives. My ots is mounted on a rotisserie with the box sections opened up in preparation for a trip to be blasted to bare metal. As I am not a big fan of warped body panels I am wondering if anyone has e...

Diesel in the tank seems to be a fairly common mistake. As I have my car presently completely dismantled I was thinking of putting a restrictor plate in the filler a few centimetres down from the top to prevent the larger diesel nozzle from entry. Does anyone know if such a thing is produced commerc...

Hello Charles. From another new member. Your car looks a little more finished than mine though!
