The 'E' Type Forum

Hi Andy,
why not correct or have the diameter corrected on a lathe?
You'd have a better chance of keeping it completely balanced.
If it really is balanced, changing the flange will damage it.
Mich

Yes, that's what you need.



DId you see my message about the captive nuts ?

Mich

Hi Carsten,
Certainly the one with the two holes. have a look on the bonnet to sea if you have two holes for the nuts.
Mich

Jeremy,
When you dismount the air intake box, you can do it leting the seal in place. Just unscrew the 2 wing nuts, pull gently towards and upward you to release the 2 screws and turn clockwise the box taking care to keep in line with the seal. Easy to do and good by the pig.

Hi Carsten

From memory, I think I saw 2 captive nuts on the brake reservoir mounting bracket.

Mich

Yes, série 2 instead of MX5.

Hi Geoff I already have the MX5 seats in my car, Angus having strongly recommended them to me you can imagine! Sitting all the way back, I have to recline the backrest a lot to get my upper body in the correct position, but my legs aren't in as comfortable position as they were in my coupé with the ...

Hi all,

I would like to change a serie 1 seats
Did someone could tell me if it's easily interchangeable with those of serie 2 ?

Thanks
Mich

Hi Mats Beautiful car :bigrin: https://forum.etypeuk.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8291&start=20 I had already thought about this problem of course. As for the height, I agree with you, it's too low without question. As for the central position, they are at the same level as those in the Jaguar document. ...

Hi all, Update. I've found the third point for my seat belts. I was looking for it at the top as indicated on the jaguar documents, but in fact it was lower and much more logically below the soft top when folded. I just needed to remove the plastic screw and make the holes in the lining. https://i.p...

Without spring, the piston fall down slowly and progressively, that's correct!
From the factory, each piston are paired with his " bell"
Don't sand the piston...
As the piston are close to the bell, even if you have a spring the sound can't be very hard but metallique anyway
Mich

Sorry, I don't agree. When the carburettor is removed from the car , the piston makes a metallic sound when it hits the "bridge" which is normal for 2 metal parts hitting each other. . It all depends on what you mean by thud and metallic sound. The sound is not that of a hammer on a good anvil, whic...

Hi Phil,

You say that without the diaphragm/jet you don't get any metallic noise when the piston falls ? That's surprising.
Is the piston stroke free, without obstacles?
Do you put the piston upright as it is into the engine?
Mich

Hi,
Don't you have simply the "hot key" syndrome ?

I had this and put a relay as explain. Work fine now.

Mich

Thanks à lot !
It began to be more clear.

Hi all Could someone give me some details about this passage ( Jaguar seat belts / Fitting instructions ) My problem is the rear anchorage of course. I don't want the retractable seat belts. https://i.postimg.cc/j2mLgbSW/Capture-d-cran-2023-12-29-130240.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/mD6DksMd/Sh-ma-OTS.jp...

Hi Glenn,
On my E Type it's a piece of flat belt with 2 or max 3 pleats
You make holes to engage the "hooks"

The same as this one but thicker


Hope it's help you
Mich

Hi Olivier,
Welcome on this forum. You'll find all the things you need here.
Have a great job.
Mich

Hi Steve,
Normally, there are 2 snaps on the floor that receive the opposites attached to the left trim.
It's not glued, of course.
For this special point, I recommend you look at a well-restored E-Type.
