Thanks for the advice everyone, I managed to figure it out. The captive it’s I referred to are infact captive spacers so the kick down shaft does bolt onto the inlet manifold studs .
Tony, unfortunately I’m also missing the clip which keeps the kick down cable in place so can’t send a pic, sorry.

Thanks Tony, mine is a triple carb set up so the inlet manifold is different from yours.
I’ll see if mine has the clip you refer to and send a pic over the weekend when I next get to my garage,

Thanks both for your reply. Yes I originally thought that it might attach to the manifold studs but unfortunately on closer examination the mounting points on the shaft has captive nuts on the rear side of the mounting brackets which means there is no way they can slide over any of the manifold stud...

Thanks Steve, this does help in that I can make out where the shaft should be. Unfortunately for the life of me I can’t work out where on the engine/ cylinder head it actually screws in to secure it. Or does it attach to the inlet manifold some how? Thanks again

Help please. I’m rebuilding a series 1 2+2 automatic. Unfortunately the car came to me in bits so I’m struggling to work out where the kick down shaft mounts to the engine. None of the manuals seem to be any use. Any advice and/or photos would be great fully appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for that. I’ll have a look when I get the car off the ground.

Sorry, thanks Christopher!

Steve thanks for the advice. Would you know what I need to look for to confirm the diff is limited slip? I’ll try to find ‘Harvey’ re the box

Steve, it’s a RHD with triple SUs

Cheers Steve, my name now added .... Thanks for the advice, the bulkhead doesn't appear to have been damaged in any way but the support rod from the bulkhead to the top of the gearbox was still attached and was bent backwards so definitely been pushed back. The area were the rear gearbox mounting pl...

I am also new to E types having bought a '66 2+2 restoration project, a couple of years ago and kept it in storage until now.
