Great news Carsten! A day/moment never to be forgotten. Keep on now and get it done!

Great job finding that one John. I would hope that the disk vendor would be interested in passing along to the manufacturer that they need to trim 0.003" off the bell...but maybe not.

Thanks for posting.

Yes, the entire shroud needs to be able to move, via the spring, in and out which makes and breaks contact. You might be in business with a spring?

Hugo - Check this thread to see if it answers some of your questions: https://forums.jag-lovers.com/t/flasher-switch-again-horn-rewire/351372 "On the inboard end of this plastic insert is what looks like a copper contact, and in the end of the stalk there are two contacts, one of which goes to a pur...

Nice job Rory! And I wish I could lay a bead like that.

Andrew,

I don't know how accurate this information is but it's a start and I believe Dave is a reliable source.

If it works out, can you let us know?

Carsten,

I've been following your progress for about 5 years and I'm really happy you have it running now. Congratulations!

Talk about living right!

Hello Lewis! I can't help you with your questions about your exhaust note or concerns about mixture adjustments but I would suggest that you drive your new e-type and get to know it for maybe year before making a lot of mods. And, I can congratulate you for your fine acquisition and welcome you to t...

Hi Andrew, I removed the aerial hole on mine (bonnet mounted). With today's technology, there really isn't any need for an aerial. If you realy do want to go down that route, then as mentioned already, a screen mounted one would make sense, although it probably won't work with DAB. I have fitted a ...

Nice! "Next time" try another fun job, like R&R the fuel tank. Congrats.

Let's us know how you get along and please document exactly how you do it. I'd like to keep that info on file for the future. Not that I will ever have to mess with the ss pipes in there now but you never know if I might do another restore?

Thanks!

It looks to me like your car is in really good shape. Having gone down this road (I needed a new clutch and ended up with a full nut and bolt restore) if I were you I would pull all of the hoses off, check for signs of serious corrosion and if fairly clean put in new hoses and keep on going. It may ...

Vegard, I just did this last week. It looks like some of your linkage is a little different than mine but I think I can see where the bracket you need mounts. Here's mine: https://s13.postimg.org/4ibcls6jb/choke_linkage_zpsbx1szaju.jpg Blow it up a little and you can see the bracket and also the way...

Just a very minor detail that I neglected to remember. Probably because I don't have a picture of me cutting the threads.

YES, you need threads in the remainder of the hinge piece. Sorry.

I had that problem about a year ago. 1) Cut the flange off as here(with the hinge bolt back in): http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o748/golfnut324/Bonnet%20Hinge/r-bonnet_hinge_bush_zpsrhhtzjeg.jpg 2) Stack oversized washers and a large nut. The remains of the hinge pin will be drawn through the c...

I had this bracket floating around my workbench for some time. After I wired the dash, installed the demister tubes and installed the steering column, I came across this picture sent by Nick and the bracket just popped out at me. Like I said, it's very difficult installing with wires, tubes and the ...

Carsten, This piece looks a lot like the bracket that I forgot to install to the dash divider on the drivers side that supports the clip for the heater valve and heater box cables. Item #60 here: http://www.sngbarratt.com/CatalogueProducts.aspx?m=10&c=4526&s=15635&a=15854 I was a REAL pain to instal...

I just reassembled my master cylinder last Friday and had no problem using standard circlip pliers.

Well done! My first thought was "maybe I should put a couple of retainer clips in my spare parts bin for trips". But on second thought a few paper clips might be more useful?
