The 'E' Type Forum

My error. You are both correct. I looked at the online catalogue for a well-known USA Jaguar parts dealer, Moss Motors, which used the same frame image for all three series of the E-Type.

Thank you Tom for the information and the link to the unrestored car, The top frames for the Series I, II and III OTS cars are all the same. The pictures on the unrestored car do show that the rear bow is covered by the strap. The wind vibration piece is also shown helping me a great deal even thoug...

Thanks Steve. I didn't have a clue, but totally understand now.

There are four holes on each of the three SU carburetors on my Series II OTS.

He said that there are small slots in the part I've identified as "F" where the two prongs of each of the three staple-looking parts fit into it. Then the three springs are added under the appropriate staple as the part attached to the wire loom...

First run the tubing through the wing nut, then attach the tubing to the jet. Then get an 8 and a 10 year old with small ha...

I email thanked Geoff immediately after he posted his reply, noting that his information did not relate to my Series II trafficator. I've researched this forum as well as others. Additionally, I contacted sellers of authentic Jaguar mechanic manuals, but no-one has an exploded view of my assembly. I...

i took my turn signal assembly apart without taking a photo beforehand. Now I have eleven small parts that I don't where they go. Any help would be appreciated. They are: A - two screws that go into what in I believe are two square slightly curved washers. B - two small springs C - one larger spring...
