The 'E' Type Forum

:welcomewave: to the forum. An unmolested 62 S1 FHC is a rare find and sounds a great starting point especially if you have the time to do the research and get it to the level you want especially if you can keep it original and find the missing servicable used parts to restore. Wishing you all the b...

Excellent, very informative.

James,
Which one do you use, the Red, Yellow or Blue top version ?
Do they come with free sunglasses !

Hi Adrian, I had similar problems to you with my petrol tank, so I elected to get it professionally cleaned which in turn lead to 4/5 pin holes being found in the bottom rear corner. Solution was then to get it fully lined and it is now 100% again and re-installed in the car. If you need to get help...

:yeahthat: I was in the same position as yourself over a year ago, no OD available for your car, 5 speed once you have done your reseach is really a mixed blessing and not an easy or cheap solution. So I opted to change my LS diff from 3.54 to 3.07 which keeps reasonable torque and give the car "lon...

It then produced the following figures on the dyno with the std drum ...

Have to disagree Malcolm, not everyone buys them to make them illegal ? :wow: We have three personal plates in our household, all s...

Mine is a May 70 XKE S2 build and had the bonnet leapers & the chrome nose ring.

Merry Christmas everyone and may your eTypes go very well in the New Year

Martin is really helpfull & I would get the red rotor and a new cap as well, did mine with a full distibutor rebuild from him and it's been excellent

Hi Chris & :welcomewave: Be interested in seeing how you get on @ Spa, good to see early 3.8 cars out on the track. Yours looks to been heavily modified, it would be good to find out what has been done / updated. Details on XKE Data are here: http://www.xkedata.com/cars/detail/?car=888491 Best of lu...

Thanks Dave,
They were swooped around before refitting. Yes handbrake mod & remote bleed were on my specification to make life easy

Hi George, Had my 3.54 LSD diff completely rebuilt and changed to 3.07 crown wheel & pinion with LSD full UK spec by Hardy Engineering in Leatherhead, Surrey who are ' old skool ', they did a great job & I am one very happy customer. :mrgreen: Ask for Bill or Neil PS: No connection apart from being ...

CMES in Bracknell did my rebuild and I am very pleased with the result, even had a guided tour of the workshop before committing to the project

Bill,
If you are refering to Beverly Hill Car Club, then mine came from there four years ago and I was very pleased with it.
Good luck with the purchase
