So, the PO used a modified version of the webbing! Seems to be the story of this car…almost there after 5 years!
Would anyone know the distances required between the bows for installing the top webbing fabric?
Thanks in advance.

Would anyone know a source for the hood webbing? The ones in my car were cut just past the rear bow in my 1962 by the PO. The ones currently installed, but a tad short are a tan fabric sewn over top of cotton(?) webbing. Is this correct? Thank you in advance, Mike https://i.postimg.cc/vHmRbbwx/image...

Would anyone have the dimensions or standard O-ring sizes for the two sealing rings for the countershaft and reverse shaft on a Moss box?
Jaguar numbers are C4284 and C4285.
I’m thinking #208 and #209 in standard O-ring size?
Thank you in advance.

Can one replace the orings in situ, or is it a engine out job?
Just curious if the aluminum rear end cover (C21415) can be pulled off and the orings replaced, or does the box need to be dismantled to replace them?

I cleaned up and resealed the Moss box in my 1962 OTS when I had the car all apart. The box remained sealed until I hit around 300 miles on it. I now have a leak at the back of the gearbox and it appears to be in the area where the counter shaft and reverse shaft protrude and get locked in place by ...

Merry Christmas to all and the best for 2024.
Thank you to all that have assisted me in getting my basket case back on the road!

Fashioned a couple of "wings" out of stainless steel. I now have ground for the dash indicator wires, so the should work now.

I am assuming it is correct as it is dated 10/62 which is the month of manufacture of the car.
100% sure? No...this car had a lot of interesting repairs...
However the switch is not like the link just sent in post #12, it is like the one in post #6.
Thanks,
Mike

Correct.
Unfortunately, this one does not fit into the die cast housing that goes over top...

That is it! So it looks like two brass "wings" belong on the upper switch...

Neat video, but for the later version of the switch (part # C21710). Mine is a part # C16069
I'm assuming that a proper (original) Lucas C21710 would fit in place of the C16069?

A couple of extra pictures of mine:





Not sure what is missing...

Hopefully someone can assist me in my quest... There is a part missing from my original switch that would operate the dash indicators. Would someone have any pictures of the missing part as i hope to reproduce it and get my switch back in operation. https://i.postimg.cc/rsVDgvHQ/IMG-0366.jpg https:/...

If you are using premix, good to go. If using "full strength" and want to cut it to 50/50 then use the good water...

Zerex G40 was recommended to me.
Available at NAPA. My branch in Penticton had to order it in for me.

I had to slightly modify the mounting holes on my sliders to get the seats to fit replacement floors.

Do these help?

Wheel bearings can be purchased in "sets". I believe the E Types are a set 2 and a set 6 for the inner/outer, but check the numbers.

Just sent you a PM.
