The 'E' Type Forum

Every time I think I've landed on 1, 2 or 4 post there is another consideration. A friend who is a classic car mechanic mentioned that a two post on an e-type has an issue with the lift points at the rear and the rubbers get sucked out. Sounds like owners on this forum that have used a 2 post haven'...

Thanks for the responses. Thought there must be a few good reasons why a single post lift wasn't a good option.

Will go back through the various 2 & 4 post comments and suspect I'll play safe and opt for 4 post.

Hi I've read quite a few posts on two or four post lifts but has anyone used a single post (portable) car lift with an E Type ? Various reasons why a two post and four post are not ideal for my garage but mainly due to low eaves and would need to manoeuvre car to get in centre and take advantage of ...

Ah, realised I need to fit a pully wheel - such an f wit ! Now need to see if old one will fit or if I need a new one.

I have an e-type 1.5 series - import from the US. It was fitted with a Delco Remy alternator which when opened had many parts severely worn - I couldn't find the replacement parts in the UK and parts available in US cost lots to ship. Anyway I decided to buy the Lucas Upgrade alternator from SNG, th...

Just fitted a Bell exhaust and used the steel clamps. Several of the joints are blowing exhaust fumes. Any advice on whether I should continue to tighten ; they are already fairly tight but with additional leverage I can probably tighten further. I haven’t used any joining sealant - should I ? Any t...

Turned out the Side Light switch had been installed the wrong way around - grrrr.

Thanks Geoff and Steve Just looked inside the brake light holder and yes, appears there are two connections (pic below) and also the bulb has what looks like two elements. Now I just need to work out why the feed isn't reaching the connection but at least I know what the "goal" is. Many thanks for t...

Sorry, but a dumb question. I have an e-type 1.5 US export model but now back in UK. My rear lights (pic below) have just two bulbs (and the reflector), one for the left/right signal and the other one is used for the brake light. Should the brake light bulb also be used for the rear night light / ta...

Thanks Steve and Tim

Appreciate the tips and will go ahead with ordering the exhaust. The missing corner to one of the manifolds doesn't appear to be causing a problem or leaking so may just stick with old manifolds but will keep an eye out for replacements.

https://i.postimg.cc/P52kmBnS/IMG-6497.jpg I want to replace the exhaust including down pipes (but not the manifolds). Looking at the current manifold fitting is this compatible with the exhaust system sold by SNG for a 1.5 DHC. it's not immediately obvious how these fit together and before buying ...
