The 'E' Type Forum

Yes, it was on their page I found the picture, I will ask if I can buy parts of the kit.
But looking at my parts I think its not from them, it looks old and the aluminium is not very "good" as in when I polish it its a few flaws in the casting

Thank u, I figured it was something off a race car setup. I see that Big Healey sells them as well so maybe I can buy the missing parts from them, if not I will just attach some AN fitting or something and drag the lines to a catch can. I also see that they sell a new front breather plate with a AN ...

I tried to upload picture but couldnt make it small enough to meet the max size limit. I have the cam covers that looks like the ones in the picture below and I`m wondering how to best setup this breathing system. Im missing hose connections for the two breather holes in the cam cover, but looking a...

Hi
I have the same hidden subframe kit in my car and I belive everything is hidden under the existing metal so that I wouldnt affect any clearance.
At least I hope so since I have it, and will be mounting a 5 speed to my car as well

I had øhlins setup on my e46 m3 and it was setup by a race shop around the ring. Not sure how it would work in a e type, but in my m3 I really got the best of both worlds. Good for streetdriving, and when doing trackdays just adjust the dampers and it was a killer on track

Have you seen these videos? Perhaps they have the information you are seeking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqxs7Fo7U_E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stsNnqCrUqQ you are a hero, this helps a lot. I dont understand why he want the air temp sensor with the air filter instead of just using the ai...

Hi Finally starting to work on my project again after sitting for 8years I have the mangoletsi port head manifold and I`m struggeling to see where to fit the water temp and air temp sensor on the manifold. It has a few plugged ports on the underside, but I think its only for air (so air temp sensor ...

So I ended up buying this lot But not sure what to do here and what engine to use. I have a rebuild 4.2 out of a xj, and I have the full efi kit from magnoletsi (or what his name was), I also have a big bore exhaust with manifold from classic fab or what the name was (been years since I bought this)...

Yeah, I will call the guy tonight and see if we can make a deal. If not I will go with elite transmissions, they will have it available in a few months. Have been looking at the jaguar offering as well, but given the price it needs to be superb, and to me it seems like a regular t5 with a jaguar bra...

E type fabs
I was planning to buy it myself around 2019, but was discomtinued
It was runned by a guy name Uryk, and I think he still makes stuff but no longer the gearboxes
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=671

never been installed so not sure, the seller has just bought a lot of parts and the project has stranded

thats great news, I have a high torque starter for 4.2, but I also think the package includes both 3.8 flywheel and 3.8 starter. So this sounds promising.

Yes hopefully someone can give some advice as I need to move fast but dont want to end up with it not beeing usable for me. I have to purchase a complete driveline, but thinking to sell the 3.8 engine and other parts I dont need to recoup some of the cost.

Hi Does anyone know if a 5 speed for 3.8 can be used on a 4.2 (series 2 but the engine is from a 80s xj 4.2) I have the oportunity to source a new box ( e type fabs) , but it was purchased for a 3.8 engine. To gether with the gearbox I get a bellhousing , flywheel and clutch, but I also have all the...

Have not done it yet.
I suppose that will work, but the support is angled and I guess there is a sweet spot were it should be attached to the body. So that the hatch doesnt open too much or too little

Hi

Does anyone have a picture showing the three holes in the body to attach the bracket /prop that holds the rear hatch open on a fhc?
Forgot to drill new holes in body when the car had the rear panels and floor changed and the replacement panel does not have the holes pre drilled

I would suggest to not remove the black knobs. If you unscrew the level from behind the dash you can take the lever and black knob off as a unit.

With regards to the vents I did remove the wire on the vent it self

So you need series 1 heater and choke control but the series 2 knob ?
I have a series 2 speedo facia panel If you can use that

Have done my self Not a big job but it depends on how far you would take it. The best way forward is to purchase a s1 centre dash with switches and move the instrument over from your s2. Same with tach unless you want to have the s1 tacho generator etc To be 100% correct you need to change the dash ...

yes, fabric = curtain
But how did you get this under the black steel parts?
Or are they used to holde the plastic edging around the door opening?
