The 'E' Type Forum

i am in the process of refurbishing my Kelsey-Hayes brake servo unit. The front die cast aluminium cover plate (part 8723-Valve Housing) is a little bit scuffed up. I took it to an aluminium anodiser who though it was hard anodised but the anodising was unusually thin. He was happy to remove the old...

I have just had a batch of 50 Aluminium tags cut. The dimensions were taken from an original 1961 tag that is in very good condition.

I have been instructed (by the wife) to get the car rebuilt by "a proper E type restoration business" as she recons I have enough on ...
