Re: inside jaguar. xkss

then made a brass windscreen surround..when they should be aluminium
Yes I agree, funny they state they will "get a better finish on the brass" when plating, yet they were happy to apply chrome plating to the aluminium bumpers. :scratchheadyellow:

Re: Winter layup advise

As the fuel will evaporate during lay-ups, don't forget to let the carbs fill with petrol BEFORE cranking the engine. Another tip is to over-inflate the tyres to help prevent flat-spots if left for a long period.

Re: Built by Many

please share your tips below
Take as many digital pictures as you can before item removal and strip down, these will become invaluable
as time passes and your memory fades!
Never throw away the old part until it has been "compared" to the replacement item. :fingerscrossed:
