Hi everyone... I have just picked back up on my restoration of a S3 v12 manual coupe....... LHD currently! The gearbox and diff are both stripped and on my bench awaiting reassembly, so my question is the diff is running a 3.54, and i plan to change it to either a 3.07 or a 2.88 and keep the standar...

Hi everyone... Just returned from an excellent jag spares day and retrieved some much needed bits, brilliant! There was a stand on the far right hand side of the hall as you walk in maybe 1/4 of the way down selling a v12 block.....now i meant to go back and see them but completely forgot. Does anyo...

I have had very recent experience of poor quality frames from a well known supplier. They were mig welded, or at least the bonnet frame was and was so far out of alignment it was a joke. I was told "oh they are all like that and we supply the top restorers" I was advised offline against choosing any...

Thanks for the help?? BRILLIANT FORUM THIS!

My original registration number is not in use and will be reallocated to my car once I have sent in the paperwork and forms that they asked for. It's the club stamp and signature that I require on one of there forms. PS, It was registered in coventry as I think all exported cars of the time were. St...

Hi, Looking for some help. I am in the process of retrieving from the DVLA my cars original registration that was issued according to the heritage certificate back in 1963 prior to export to the US. I have filled in all the required forms and paperwork and attached all relevant items. What I need to...

the two flats on the manifolds that look like they've had something attached also they look webbed.

Not seen it before
any ideas????

Steve

So for clarity,

Hutsons supply E type fabs frames
Robeys do their own
SC parts supply frames who makes those I don't know..Robeys?

Anybody else????

I am in the market for x 2 sets and have been shopping around. I have had a quote of ?3840.20 inc Vat and that is for 2 sets.

Yepp me to any kind of feedback would be helpful.

If the SC Parts supplied ones are good and available?
I would tend to agree with you Chris.

It is quite a difference if they are materially like for like. I say IF?

Well food for thought??.

SC Parts are quoting ?2400.14 inc Vat

Quite a difference, anyone bought a set????????

Barrets only have the bonnet sub frame available online not sure if the rest is available offline

Any thoughts?

Just had my quote in writing and no movement on price??.. The last time I looked at Uyrks website just before it went down I believe they were priced at 2500 + Vat for a set. So I guess it is what it is. Can't say I blame Uyrk, actually the firewall of a distributer can have its benefits. If nothing...

Id be up for that?.. I may need x2 sets at some point this year but certainly need one set soonish.

depends on the discount I guess

mmmmmmm, it's the next big ticket item on my build too, not good news!
irrespective of quality which isn't in question, however there has to be a ceiling :(
