Re: Rev counter generator - which wire goes where?
Does not matter, it is a simple AC generator and voltmeter (rev counter)

Re: Thermostat
The C.3731/1 is the correct one. Check out this definitive article on E-Type thermostats and hopefully it will answer your question:

Re: New member from York looking for servicing and restoration contacts
I can recommend Ken Verity in Rotherham. He no longer advertises or has a web site as he has so much repeat custom. You can contact him on 01709 838352 Heading south there is P&K Thornton in Nottinghamshire. Despite the distance Angus Moss is always reliable and well respected. He is also a Forum Mo...

Re: Interior Trim - I HATE CONTACT ADHESIVE, but ........... this helps
Yep, MEK is a superb cleaner and solvent but the smell is almost addictive so plenty of airflow is desirable otherwise a headache awaits. Learning point - do not ask your wife to help with the cleaning as it is incredibly efficient at removing nail polish

I would ad MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) to your list of workshop solvents.
Also all E-Type boots were trimmed in Beige regardless of body or interior colour. Your choice, but just saying!

Two possibilities:
1. The joint cover protecting the outer journals (44) is loose and is rubbing
2. The water thrower on the rear hub assembly (30) is loose

And when you come to fit it to the banjo's be prepared for a fight. Tip: heat up the fitting, not the pipe, hold it in a vice and push the pipe on.

Re: seat attachement 67 fhc (blocks to raise seat)??
No evidence to say these wooden blocks were from the Factory. Highly unlikely Jaguar would countenance fitting wooden blocks under the seats given the safety implications if the cracked/rotted.

Re: tach wire generator wire placement? (pic included)
The S1's used a tach generator driven off the rear of the RH camshaft. This outputs 1v per 100rpm and the tachometer responds to the total voltage, so basically a voltmeter. It is entirely independent of the ignition system, unlike the S2 cars. About the only thing you may notice is the rev counter ...

Re: Center console, originality
Headliner was Beige unless the car was painted Green when Suede Green was used seemingly regardless of the rest of the interior colour. There was a choice of Red or Maroon interiors depending on body colour. What was the original body colour?
