Re: Independent inspection
A couple of small cosmetic things - the SU caps should all be black plastic and the HT leads should be in a conduit. The Jaguar logo on the oil filler cap should be black or unpainted. Hideous steering wheel and centre boss. All these parts are easily available from SNG Barratt. You could ask Angus ...

Re: Wiper Motor 5-way connector block clamp C2796
The C.2796 bracket is used for the 5 way headlamp connector on RH side of bonnet and C.2532 bracket for the 8 way connector on the LH side of the bonnet. The S2 uses bracket C.1040/14 to secure the wiper harness to the bulkhead.

Re: Wiper Motor 5-way connector block clamp C2796
That is the wrong bracket Rory! From our 'Factory Fit' thread: Part #C17435 Fixing strap for 5 way connector block #3571 on screen wiper cable.

Re: Galvanic coating of the Dunlop "C" cylinders
Quite a few places in the US, every street corner in India! Very difficult in Europe although if you look east there will be places. Personally, unless it is on OBL, I would say it is not worth the trouble or expense. CMC did an early OTS and cad plated everything, including all the handbrake parts ...

Re: OIL AND DIP STICK
Yes, the E-Type requires the felt washer for both sealing and correct oil fill measurement. It seems the seals are no longer available and even when they were they are specified for the saloons and too big. Not tried it myself but someone suggested Boots felt corn plasters have the correct dimension...

Re: Headlamp Sugar Scoop captive nuts on wrong side ?!
Best way to seal the headlamps is to do what Jaguar did in period, liberal use of Dum Dum putty. However a few people here have tried to use it with limited success (search on Dum Dum). I don't think Dum Dum is still produced but Eastwood Flexible Strip Caulk is a good alternative and having strips ...

Re: Rev counter behaving badly
The generator works using magnets to produce a AC voltage pulse. The magnets lose their strength over time which means the generator does not provide sufficient pulses. Before messing with the tachometer, and repairs can be expensive, invest in a new generator (£186) which should look like this: htt...

Re: OIL AND DIP STICK
All E-Type dip sticks have an E stamped on them and it does not stand for :banghead: 'Empty' It is there because it is specific to the E-Type engine, or more correctly the sump design, so no substitutes. The chequered area represents the oil high and low marks so as long as the oil is in that region...

Re: Rev counter behaving badly
If it is an S1 then there is a generator on the rear right hand cam cover. It works by generating a voltage of 1V AC per 100 RPM. They are prone to failure as the magnets get weak. To test remove the generator (three Allen screws - no need to remove the cam cover) and attach the spindle to an electr...

Re: Exhaust system
I have had several exhaust iterations on my OTS which has a powerful modified engine. Best solution is cast manifolds as tubular ones reduce mid range torque, likely will cause the paint of your frames/bonnet to bubble and produce an annoying tinkling sound at very low revs. Do not go with any syste...
