The 'E' Type Forum

[quote="johnetype"]Overall, as you may know, these clocks are nothing but trouble and you could consider having it converted to a quartz movement inside keeping the original face, hands and case. There is a link on the Coolcat site and this is what I plan to do with my clock: Yes, I already saw that...

Hello, The clock from my '69 Etype is broken down :helpsos: After one year running on a 1,2 Volt AA battery the clock death on me :sad: I took it apart, and when I put 1.2 volt (pulsing) on the coil, the clock is running. In my opinion, the capacitor or transistor is broken. Text on those components...

The one on the right is usually shaped like the one on the left after a few years of use. Suppose it depends whether you prefer pre-shrunk stone-washed denim, or wearing out your own jeans in person... I do not believe the rubber lip will rise through time because it doesn't hit anything (maybe via...

I started with 600 (wet sanding) and finished with an old 800 paper. The top I did with a block because I only wanted the rills (is that english..) to be polisched, not the groves.

I polished my cam covers! first removed the black paint by sanding (sand paper) them and then (only) glass blasing the groves. After that I polisched the hell out of them

Hello, I replaced my door Frame Rubber Seal (outsite chrome frame arround window) by new ones that I pursched from SNG. I noticed that the new ones had a different shape then the old ones (see attachment). Left is the new and right to old. The lip that must seal to the door frame lies flat :oops: Di...

Hi Rolando,

No, you don?t need more parts! The lever works as a spring flipping the mirror glass.
My lever was also broken, but after I glued it together it is working again.

I sent you a PM Simon Hi, I did a lot of searching for door mirrors for Series 3 cars, if I am right, then those fitted to early Series 3 are the same as those fitted to Late Series 2 and possibly all Series 2 cars. If these are the mirrors you seek (see forum topic below): http://forum.etypeuk.com/...

Thanks MGCJAG. I did contact TEX but as all new mirrors the glass is held by plastic.

I thinks I need to go to a used parts sale meeting.

Does anyone know the CO value of the exhaust for a 1970 4.2 engine with 2 Stromberg Carburattors?

I use a colortune spark plug! If the combustion is blue (instead of oranje) the CO also is oke.

Hello,

Does anyone know where I can buy an "OLD" RHD E-type series II mirror that mounts on the door?

I Have a '69 LHD E-type but when I reverse I miss the second (or third) mirror!

Yes you can buy them new, but they have a black plastic frame around them....

Hello,

Does anyone has experience with thermic paint tripping of there car body?

Positive or negitive!

I think there is something wrong with the PM box! Old English White! I could swear that it was Ascot Fawn. Please send me a picture of the whole car side profile?

Thanks in advance

Henk

Jeff, check your PM!

Hi Jeff,

You can't add pictures on this forum! Only a link to a site which you did. Nice car! Color Ascot fawn? Can you send me a picture (PM) from the side of the car? Which taillight's did you use?

Henk

oke, thanks Christopher

Henkie : the correct quantity on a refill including filter is 14.5 pints ( 8.25 litres ) . Do not rely on the dipstick until you have filled the sump precisely, which will tell you whether the dipstick calibration is correct. I should perhaps say that the book says 15 pints ( 8.5 litres ) but the m...

Can anybody tell me if I can leave the throttledisks in my intake manifold out? They open slightly later then the carbs!
I think they are only there for the emmision regulation from the US.[/img]

I changed the oil by removing the filling tube and the oilpan. The filter is a steel one so you can wash it out and use it again. The converter doesn't have a drainplug so there will be some oil left behind I filled the gearbox with Repsol Dexron II D (8,5 liters) and checked the oil level (warm in ...

Hello,

Does anybody knows how to change the oil from a automatic gearbox? A friend of my has his oilpan dismounted but he don't know how to empty his converter! apparently there isn't a drain plug in the converter!

Thanks for reply.
