Rear IRs cradle.
Good day to you all.
I need a new IRS cradle as mine is rusted beyond repair. I see theres a few online for sale but un sure if they are e type ones. what are the telltale signs of e type ones because they all look the same to me
Hope you are all having a good weekend.

Paint stripping engine frames.???
Good evening guys.
Is it ok to have the engines frames chemically stripped?
Im wondering if the brazing is ok with this process? It would be nice to have them dipped so the inside of the tubes get cleaned to.
If anyone has had it done who did you use?
Cheers

Re: E-type doors
Good afternoon guys Here are some photos. the doors measure 39 1/4 along the bottom of the door. Am i right that the DHC and OTS doors are the same and the 2+2 doors are longer? https://i.postimg.cc/5tpwDLVC/IMG-0361.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Hk8Yqg14/IMG-0362.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/52JJRFp1/IMG-03...

E-type doors
Good evening all.
A friend of a friend has a pair E-type doors in his garage but has no idea what they came off because they came from a garage clearance he did some years back.
The doors have no handles or winders so how can they be identified?

Good evening all
Is the vacuum tank used just for the brakes or is there any other component that also need the vacuum?

Dunlop Racing tyre.
Good evening guys.
When i'm at shows i always like to have a look at what tyres people are using on there cars.
I have never been up close to a E-type lightweight car to see what size tyres are fitted the the wide arch cars.
Anyone know the model and sizes most commonly used?
Cheers.

Re: Built by Many
Can we get back to talking about the show please.
I wander who is going to do the body work?
Im getting the feeling that Edd will hardly get involved.

Re: Built by Many
Its interesting how the 3.8 head made its way over to the states.
My bet is the lords car is long gone. Why lets would you take a good head off?

Re: Tripple SU inlet.
Ok so how do the manifolds tilt down?
For example are the carb and head mounting faces machined at a angle or is the casting itself bent/curved ect?

Re: Tripple SU inlet.
Cheers for the info guys.
I think i have found a complete 3.8 inlet for sale but i dont know what im looking for.
Will a 3.8 tripple inle fit a 4.2 head and what do i need to look for so i know its a E-Type inlet?
Do they still angle down like the one piece inlet?

Tripple SU inlet.
Good evening all.
I have been told that the triple su inlet for a E-Type is different to other jag models and others won't fit because the carbs sit higher and will his the bonnet. Is this true? If so what do i need to look for when searching the net and auto jumbles for a inlet manifold?
