The 'E' Type Forum

Jack the Lad counseled that you to: * check that the engine will turn over freely, * check all the thick heavy duty wires * go to the centre of your dash check all fuses and clean the fuse and its holder before replacing them. Consider yourself lucky the car didn't start - you would have spread 20-y...

The weights of the V12 engine, tranny, and other various and sundry components comes up regularly both here and on Jag-Lovers. I am nearing the completion of the restoration of my 72 Series III OTS. I made a concerted effort to capture the weights of items as I disassembled and now reassembling the ...

I just purchased new rain shields from Barratt's (USA); I opted for the stainless steel variant. Three points for SIII owners ref these shields: (1)The shields come with 4 mounting holes pre-drilled. Ya only need 2 but Jaguar changed the mounting technique mid-stream so these will fit early and late...

The key is to avoid rubbing/scratching the underside of the bonnet.

No need for credit - this (and Jag-Lovers) is an open, public forum.
The photos performed their intended purpose: helped the next guy

No photos visible from here either

I decided to go the LED route for the dash lights on my Series III OTS.
The restoration is still 9-12 months from completion so I can't provide first-hand observations on their utility.

Here are my notes on the bulbs I used

Getting back to the original question, it took me a while to find my notes but this is what my body/paint guy used on the under carriage of my Series III OTS. Sorry for the delay . . . He uses TCP Global (online) Custom Shop Tintable Bed Liner. You need to have the color code for your paint and have...

You said: "Dinitrol produced a chart showing where to apply rust proofing to an E-Type shell."

I did a cursory check of their website but couldn't find the chart.
Do you have a link?

Big Tom I am gonna assume you mean B1CQ. I had my 4x Stromberg's rebuilt by Joe Curto and all four were returned to me thusly marked: https://i.postimg.cc/X7Q6r3Nz/20220214-170303.jpg And -- Rod Crawford, who is documenting his Series III rebuild on Jag-Lovers has had his carbs rebuilt by Joe and we...

What size s/t screws did you use? They gotta be pretty short/small . . .
Did you use the existing locations of the nonfunctional clips to place the screws? or just space them so they looked right?

Colin I had purchased a sheet of thin (1/16" thick- ??) closed cell rubber when I was restoring the instrument panel. There is a long narrow stretch of rubber at the bottom which I believe was a light and/or dust shield. My original crumbled to pieces/dust at the slightest touch https://i.postimg.cc...

I believe these are anti-squeak pads. I also glued a section of closed-cell rubber to them https://i.postimg.cc/25QbHfmV/20230709-092338.jpg / / https://i.postimg.cc/ydnJHXDK/20230709-092349.jpg / / https://i.postimg.cc/ZnRWKBNd/20230709-092403.jpg / / https://i.postimg.cc/wj7jrR8t/20240322-143253.j...

Most of my other photos deal with the lines as they mount to the undercarriage, then pass though the torsion bar brackets and onward into the engine bay: https://i.postimg.cc/Yq16Mb0c/B07nc-HQB2k-KGr-Hq-QOKjw-E-q1-RM7-Sv-BMc-HLh-Z7w-12.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/zBbhMk6c/20210711-154407.jpg https://i....
