The 'E' Type Forum

Had the same problem for 7 yrs on #1 or #2 intakes. Could not find it. Was not a shim issue as they were spot on. No sign of tappet guide lift. No witness marks, nothing. So I gave up and placed a tappet guide retainer on 1 and 2 intake as I have on all the exhaust guide. Problem gone. A quiet head ...

Hello Klaus, I used black paint because some of the new flange is visible through the perspex and black just blends right in with the rubber seal. It blends so well i had to run to the garage and check with a flash light to see if my recollections were correct. You will enjoy the conversion when its...

Look for a PM from me

Thanks so much for those photos. i too had installed my hi torque starter with the spigot plate in , as there was no instructions to remove it . I called Moss and their tech dept. did not know what to do either. I had taken measurements prior to installation and after considerable head scratching an...

Here you go http://classicjaguar.com/parts-2/regular-and-restoration-parts/ I have used them on my 67 OTS, good quality and helped solved my miss alignment issues. As with most things E-Type it was an iterative process to get the spacing just right. I thought removing the same size spacer would resu...

What ? No flag for us Canucks?

After four years and leaks even with double clamps , I bought the above hose. Problem solved.

I can vouch for Browns Lane. Tom was very helpful with parts and advice during my rebuild. There will still be Canada Post to British Columbia to pay though.

Wow....that head is really something ! And fuel injection AND cold air intake AND custom exhaust AND stroker kit

Excellent !
Should be a simple fix. Thanks All

Spotted this the other day. It wasn't loose. Obviously over heated. Cause? Possibly high alternator output? Regulator issues ? It is a Flamethrower coil and ignition with a new direct wire lead from ignition switch which is on a relay and fused at 5 amps ( not the wire just the switch ) I understand...

One down , one to go. This has not been a breeze. The parts from Monocoque metal works are fine. However the chrome surround, PTE lens , rubber lens seal and bonnet require MUCH fettling to agree with each other . Including grinding the PTE lens to fit the chrome surround.All before the heart stoppi...

Looks great Ed, nice work. Thanks for the additional tips. I note that series one headlight dishes do not seem to available at this time so series two 's will have to be modified. My headlight bulkheads are in ( great panels but fettling required due to bonnet variations ) sugar scoops pre fitted an...

I have had one for four years now and used it numerous times. It has been great but is not perfect. It is barely long enough to reach the jacking points for the E-type, but a modification to the rubber support blocks and has worked fine with careful placement. Access is best from front and rear only...

Great photos , once again Ed. I am still fettling with my headlight bulkheads, i see you have done so too. Some of my bonded bonnet supports have come loose as well. I have also found that series one headlight shells are unavailable and have had to cut and modify series 2's. despite being labeled as...

Hi Ed , Thanks again for posting. Are you using spacers on the sugar scoop bolts or double nuting them ( or both ) Here is where I am to date. Still waiting on parts, they appear to be " covid delayed" Cheers, Keith https://i.postimg.cc/Sszvb6Zx/C1-FA74-F3-2-C25-4132-BE9-E-1754774-A64-D9.jpg https:/...

Ho Ho Ho !
Merry Christmas to All !

Hi Ed,
Its looking good.
I am taking notes. Thanks for trouble shooting problems I will soon encounter and the great pics too. What paint did you use on the scoops?
Regards,
Keith

Thanks Phil,
Just curious , what is new and improved about SNG's Ex manifolds ?
The US website mention little.

Jealous ! Forth snowfall here and salt every where on the roads. I miss driving her already. But , tis the season for a steering rack rebuild and my headlight conversion parts are on order too so its off to the garage for me.
Cheers All,
Keith
