The 'E' Type Forum

Hi all
I’m getting to the point of thinking about getting my ‘62 OTS trimmed including having the soft top properly refitted and covered.
I understand that GB classic trim are known for getting a good “hood fit”?
Has anyone got any experience they could share?
Thanks
Robbie

Useful?? Pah!
Only kidding
Engine firing up …what a joy

Only on this forum could we all find the position of single P clip “interesting”

I’m not even sure that I’ve got it under the correct nut!!

Does anyone think it should go on the one above instead??

Some nerdy chap out there must know

Hi Tadek
Is yours RHD?

Thanks Tadek

That looks good for LHD

I reckon the RHD one goes as in my picture below
It seems to make the pipe curve correctly

Robbie

I got mine from here

Yes…there are 3 p clips on LHD but the orientation is different as the vacuum has to come from the tank on the opposite side of the car! The RHD has only one P clip and I believe it helps hold the vacuum hose down against the left hand side of the master cylinder housing I’m sure someone will have a...

I’m thinking maybe it goes here??

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a photo somewhere of where it goes but I just can’t find it!
It’s on page 117 of the spare parts catalogue
One only on RHD car

Dear all
Please could someone tell me where the Pclip on the hose that takes vacuum from the reservac tank to the Kelsey hayes servo is attached?

Yes just ease a blade between the chrome surround and the backing at the bottom edge. The tabs don’t need bending so they won’t snap off. I didn’t replace the mirror and just polished the chrome surround…slight patina but that’s fine Robbie https://i.postimg.cc/kM2S9KSM/6701-EF9-E-3345-43-C6-9-CA5-7...

Hi I’ve refurbed mine 1962 OTS Disassembled it I just cleaned and polished the chrome. The back of the mirror I stripped and repainted in flat finish gold spray paint from local hardware store I rechromed the bracket Looks great and functions with a little bit of patina I’ll try to find a photo Robbie

Thoroughly recommend Mike Eck
He’s done 2 for me

I’ve done two of these myself …very easy for the amateur and great fun
The only bit I didn’t do was the diff rebuild itself which cost £700
Robbie

Thanks
That makes sense as it was on the car !
Much obliged
Robbie

Hi Just restoring my indicator housing on the March ‘62 OTS. I have the original housing off the car which has a small cut out for the wiring as well as a tiny rivet which secures some insulation material inside.(on the right) I also have another housing which is similar BUT has a larger radius cut ...

Mind Took 4weeks to do.
Where do you reside Lester?
If it’s winter and you’re not driving then it may be a good time to get them sorted
Robbie

Hi Definitely get your old mashed up ones sorted …can cost a very little more than “repro” ones but they are correct, will fit and will have correct lettering(which should NOT be painted but left chrome AND the longer skinny arrow. Mine were horrible but Derby Plating did the whole job, got the smoo...
