The 'E' Type Forum

TBH I found that both my new radiator and block drain valves leaked, poor reproductions. So mine have brass plugs.

NB if you have the cam chain tensioner renewed, tell your mech to remember to set the tensioner correctly.

Just had a light bulb moment, maybe that is where my front rattle is coming from, if my springs are on the loose side of not quite tight enough :idea: When the bonnet is locked down, the springs are under heavy tension and therefore will be tightly secured at each end on their retaining pegs. IMHO ...

I used upholstery strapping. The type used for seats with a limited stretch. Managed a good colour match too. Was only in 2” widths , so cut down. Worked on my S1 plastic reservoir.

I used plumbing washers with a selftapper, good grip and vibration proof.
After retriming my radio consol, I need to remove the strip, no worries.

Yes it is. The seal in the middle of the shuttle in the servo is not sealing. If the slave reservoir is lower down than the master reservoir, then it'll just overflow eventually as it is gravity feeding straight through. If it were only happening when the brakes were applied/released, then there is...

Just the one spring seat at the base.

I fitted just the mill board pieces, as said they are textured (also not visible). The covers are quite chunky with a traditional flax / hemp insulation and black heavy finish. These are still on the shelf and will probably never be fitted.

Thumbs up for CJ, I needed theses hinges to get my bonnet gap spot on. Great quality, very helpful and swift delivery.

yes I wish I had added both when I did mine and was replacing both bulkhead water pipes. At the time I did not appreciate that both the 2 vac pipes would go inside bulkhead. Ended up with a larger copper pipe bent around the back of the engine from servo to vac tank. (not pretty) The following winte...

When I did my L >R conversion.
I clipped the brake pipe to the LHS box section and the fuel the RHS.
Or have I missread your post ?

I will be interested in the reply as my rear view mirror has lost part of its mirror back reflective stuff.

hmm, no lock on my '67 4.2
Those guys with locks, do you you actually lock them, seems a bit of a faff.
Is it worth it

I obtained mine from Car Builder Solutions, ali sqidgy pipe.
Routed it direct from crankcase breather outlet down thro the stone guard to air.
Pinched the idea from someone else

A good time to check your fuel line and connections too.
Good luck, a good winter project

Ash there is a place up North of you Kinkell Classics.
I have spoken with them, but not used them

Thanks Steve, good to know I am on the right track
