Re: E type Car Shows

It seems our timing for our UK trip is not conducive for car shows.
You have quite a trip planned through BC and the Rockies! Enjoy! Drop me a note if you are in the Penticton area.

Thanks Geoff.
Our tickets home have us leaving on the 18th…so unfortunately Goodwood looks like it is out.

Re: Moss gearbox easy(?) oil leak fix?

Re: Moss gearbox easy(?) oil leak fix?

I had a leak at the rear of my Moss box and it was one of the o-rings at the rear of the transmission.

Re: Locking brakes 1963 S1 FHC 3.8

From JL archives Thank you to Alan Grossman and Jerry Mouton! I don’t think it’s a booster problem, it should have cleared up right away. 45 minutes says it’s a brake temperature problem.

Re: Locking brakes 1963 S1 FHC 3.8

I had the same issue and as Randal did, resolved by shortening the master cylinder rod. It was a new master cylinder from one of the usuals. I believe I shortened it by a 1/2".

Series One Rear Spring reccomendation

Short story is that a PO has done many "modifications" to my E and one is that I have mismatched rear springs - two original 7/16 inch diameter coils and two 1/2 inch diameter coils (one on each side). Hence the car is riding a little high. Any recommendations on where to purchase new springs? All t...
