Re: DIFF. better 3,07 or 2,88 for 2+2?
Hi, after your interesting comments and after a drive with a 3.07 differential (4.2 - 1 series) and with a 2.88 (4.2. - 1 series 2+2), I make a decision. I prefer 3.07 differential and I decided to change to that ratio. Now I need to update speedometer. Is it possible to change gears to transform a ...

Re: DIFF. better 3,07 or 2,88 for 2+2?
Thank you all for the advice and above all for the experiences-impressions with the differentials mounted on your cars. I understood the strengths and weaknesses of two ratios and you also gave me technical and historical notions (test on the first E-types). I will also talk to the mechanic and I wi...

DIFF. better 3,07 or 2,88 for 2+2?
Hi, I need an opinion about change differential (with a xjs 3,07:1 or 2,88:1). I have a 2+2 first serie with original 3,31:1. In my opinion the 3,31 is too short and when you go fast engine revs are to high. So I'm orienting to buy a different ratio differential. Two choices: 3,07 or 2,88. I think 2...

Re: body plate - where do I buy it?
I'm in contact with Todd about making a tag for my car, however we weren't aware there are 2 sizes of these tags, so he is tooling up to make the S2 & 3 ones, which are larger and bigger digit size. Can anyone confirm that all Series 1 have tags approx 62mm (2.45") long, with holes 54mm (2.125") ap...

Re: correct compression ratio
Thanks Peter, I checked on the plate, as you suggested, and the correct compression ratio is 9:1. Unfortunately the engine was rebuilt with 8: 1. Discussing with the mechanics they told me that it is better because the engine (and in particular the head) is less stressed and works at a lower tempera...

correct compression ratio
Hi, I have a doubt about correct compression ratio of my 4.2, 2+2 (made on march 1966 for US). A specialist remade the engine of my car and they used 8:1 pistons. Now I read probably my car uses 9:1 compression ratio but on request 8:1. I have the original pistons (on pics) and on they are stamped n...

Re: TRIPLEX logos research - a bit of help needed
Hi,
I think it's not PLATE but LAMINATED because it's longer and because it's 1966. Maybe with a dot below A (but I can see it).
Dot is above T and near X (but I don't know if this dot has sense).
I have a new windshield and I'm trying to re-made the correct logo.

Re: body plate - where do I buy it?
Hi Robbie. Re-use the original one was my first choice but unfortunetely it was damaged by sand used to blasting the car to remove painting.
