And which product has to be used to glue the parts? Thank...

Re: Broken engine mount

Hi Philip,

is it your car ? I can see that this one has not got the changes done on your OTS with megasquirt. Do you plan to remove the carbs and fit EFI on the engine ?
Regards
Michel

Re: Front ride height/Torsion bars and tool

Hi Simon I understand that you have to move somewhere 1 spline. 2 parts on the torsion barre are used as reaction brackets. At the front there are 24 splines and at the rear 25. I would move one of the bracket to gain 1 spline and then be able to fine tune the height of the car with the cam adjuster...

Happy or not with eBay.

I'm restoring at a turtle speed an S3 FHC from 1971. I'm looking regularly on eBay sites from the US, UK and Germany as I still needs some parts. Sometime you win and sometime you do not. For the last purchase I have done on eBay UK, I’m very happy. I was looking for a chip solution for the propshaf...

Re: Gauge face

Hello Christopher, Thank you for your message. The specific support used has a surface which reacts with the water. When the transfer is dry, it is quite impossible to remove it without scrubbing . I’ve tried to soak it into the water several hours without success. When I've removed the transfer, th...

Re: Gauge face

After a feedback from Jonathan, I've searched on the internet to get a solution to do the work all by myself. I've found a way with a white A4 specific paper support. I've printed on the front faces I've done on my laptop. After a first test I've done the 4 gauges using this solution. The result sou...

Re: XJS engine on the E Type

Hi Marek,
thanks for your remarks.
I'm going first to look at the jag-lovers.org site as you propose.
Am I right saying that you have chosen Megasquirt to manage your engine instead of the Jag ECU?
Cheers

Re: V12 engines

I agree with MarkE, V12 are very cheap when coming from cars other than E Type. In other words, the specific bits from the E give the value to the engine because a quite good XJS or other saloon car engine is a cheaper base to be converted into a usable engine for the E than restoring an threadbare ...

Re: Solution to use a latter V12

Hello Marek
Great if you have all the bit! I did have all of them also and I ve modify my xjs engine for my own etype.
For sure your message will interest someone.
However, this system sounds to me an interesting alternate.
