The 'E' Type Forum

Does any one have any info on his e type. my friend has a fhc that is meant to have been owned by him SAR8J is the reg he will be getting the heritage cert, then will find out the previous owners from dvla. Any info would be nice :)

Jaime

could you pm me your email chris, so I can send you that info

Jaime

More likely the hub is worn, splines are to long and fine to allow play.

Jaime

Well the E type went for it's MOT today, although a initial problem with wiper washers, and high beam. It PASSED yehh. Although sadly means it'll go to it's new owner soon! I've become a bit attached now, blood sweat and tears in it. I'll post some photo's soon 8)

hi, i've nearly finished the interior in my E type FHC. Im having trouble with the capping that goes round the inside of the rear door opening, im not sure if it goes under or over the panels and the headlining and it's a real pig to fit. does anyone have any tips or pictures how it should look? the...

Well from the owner! It's a FHC S1, I can find out more info if you want. I pass his house regularly(the owner that is!)

Hi,

Could anyone tell me the best glue to use for the body rubbers. As I'm about to put mine back together

I know where Winston Churchill's E-Type is. Awaiting restoration.

Jaime

Funny this as my car is being resprayed at the mo, and we had to remove these, like you said slightly tight access! thankfully the windscreen was out. So we did get them out. They will be put in first!

Jaime

Im trimming my car at present and would like to know whether the piping that goes round the console on the edge is standard or do people leave it out, It doesn't make any difference to me but would like it to be the 'norm'

Car is FHC series 1.5 if that makes any difference.

Jaime

Hi Simon,

A bit of a trek but they are good,http://www.polyfacto.co.uk/. I used to work for them many years ago. If the webasto is fitted properly there is no reason why it should leak, that is generally why they leak, cause of bad fitment.

James

Ok, well what colour is most desirable, my intention is to have interior black.

then sell when finished.

any thoughts?

Jaime

Are the rear light clusters for the series 1/ 1.5 dh and fhc different to each other?

Jaime

yes pretty happy no major rot,(the paint was blistered all over) and I will return it to red as that is what is on the heritage certificate. Would of liked it black but was told it'll devalue it being an unoriginal colour

Jaime

Thank you David I have a manual, but if you wiring diagram is larger please send it to me
