Re: Chassis and engine numbers don't match
My car is a California import. I went to see the car before buying although photos would suffice I suppose. I made absolutely sure that the chassis, engine and plate numbers all matched. ( checked the gearbox number later at home) Mine has the J68 prefix to the chassis number which is shown on the t...

Re: Fosseway Hi-Torque Starter and Spigot Plate
I know that this is an old thread but with the current (no pun intended) comments on high torque starters I thought that I would update this. I have a Fosseway starter and being aware of the issue I phoned Simon. Hi says that the latest starters from Fosseway have been modified so that no spacer pla...

Re: Inlet Manifold Throttle Cam Binding
Those mounts look knackered !
As mentioned check carefully on carb to bonnet clearance ( although with products from Rob Beere you should be ok )

Series 1.5 door recess panels
Does anyone have a source for the plastic moulded panels fitted to the recess in series 1.5 doors.
These differ significantly from series 2 items which won’t fit.
I’ve tried all the usual who seem to offer only series 2
Thanks
Tim

Re: Heres a weird question
Don’t be tempted as I was to use anyone who claims to have fitted e type hoods. I purchased a hood from Aldridge (perfect) and used a local “experienced trimmer” to fit. Total cost about £1k. Seems cheap you think. Unless you factor in that the job is appalling. I’ve improved it over time but it wil...

Re: Stub Axle Ring
Simple really.
Using a small drift tap it out from the top. ( once you have removed the old ball joint )
Access from inside the hub carrier

Re: Inlet Manifold Throttle Cam Binding
Do you have the spacing plate sometimes fitted under the right side engine mount?

Re: Clock Replacement Procedure
My thoughts are that removing the tach is the best way. The clock needs to be slotted into position. Tachometer can be removed either from the top by taking off the dash top or by removing the lower cover panel . This is a bit more fiddly getting to the tachometer fixings but less work. I would take...

Re: Accidental damage E-Type Series 3 OTS?
Hi,
Marek will know better on series 3 but I don’t like the look of that crease just by the bonnet hinge shown in the last picture.
What’s the rest of the car like .
I’d be inclined to leave and look at others

Similar damage on both sides. I would be looking very carefully. How are the bulkhead fixings ?

Re: Head bolt torque Series 1 4.2 1966
I don’t believe that any torque figure has been published for these. My head was rebuilt by CMES who supplied a copy of the torque setting and tightening sequence and method. No mention of the figures for these smaller nuts.

Re: Upgraded 3.8 clutch reservoir - did I imagine it?
I think that SNG now sell them with the hose attached to prevent splitting.Maybe also they fit the spigot inside the reservoir.
I’ve also heard that Fosseway can supply an aluminium unit but it’s not on their website

Never a better day to do some waxing !!
So on a pleasant day it was time to do something I’ve had on my mind for a while. I’ve been conscious that I should get some cavity wax in place. Since I don’t trust many people I decided to DIY. I’ve got a small compressor and first thoughts were to use cans and the appropriate gun. However on insp...

Re: Correct wipers and arms for S1 2+2 ?
Difficult to tell, you need to check the length.
In any event the blades should not be that matt black colour and the rubber looks perished and worn
