I did ask onJag loverssite and kindly had this interesting response inlinesix inlinesix Terry Sturgeon April 15 Typically on clutches this size the rele...

Thanks for your reply. The flywheel was original but lightly skimmed by engine rebuilder who didn’t comment about its ‘thickness’ As I said I was concerned at the difference in thickness with the cover I took off Yes full clutch kit Would it be enough do you think? Thanks again Paul Here is a photo ...

Hi I am concerned about the position of the fork as it exits the bellhousing. There seems to be little travel distance and is it enough to depress the cover diaphragm? This is a full new clutch. I contacted the company who said it was for the 4.2 Etype (jan67) What worries me is the one removed was ...

hi, I had my S1 (66 roadster) rev counter converted by speedograph Nottingham for my 123 distributer.

hi I am converting my S1 from LHD to RHD and currently rewiring.(finding it a bit of a pain as the car seems an amalgam of 1 and 2 series!) I would appreciate any photos showing the cockpit wiring loom layout. My autosparks loom seems to have the flasher canister on the RHS...is this correct? For th...

Can anyone pass any tips on re fitting the vinyl around the tack strip of my S1 roadster!

I kept the old one, cutting v shapes etc but still struggling to prevent it ‘puckering’

Really frustrating !

Hello
I have at last received the number plate from Dvlc for my S1 roadster

Can anyone tell me the correct size for the rear plate please and who is a reliable manufacturer?

Also am I likely to be pulled for putting the front one on the bonnet? Is this desirable anyway?

Many thanks

Paul

Job done! Thanks for responses

All I can add to all advise is if you’ve got big hands don’t do it!!

Got mine stuck more than once....but I do have arthritus! That first vacuuum was a ??d

Would I be sensible to pu...

It is a 66 roadster. 4.2 with replaced block (69) 5 core plug, long stud

I have all usual manuals, Haynes, Bentley auto books etc but no reference to depth or turns

Long stud

Hi I am rebuilding my 4.2 and replacing the block studs. The machine shop said they tapped out the studs when the bock was machined. However, even though the studs go in freely they are not a uniform height. The 4 with lifting brackets will be longer I suspect but is there a uniform height. I darent...
