The 'E' Type Forum

Guys
Ive got most of the parts for the car now
Ended up getting an original E type gearbox for it

Looking to fit triple webers so on the hunt for them now

Going to have the webasto roof deleted

Oh and need a speedo if anyone has one ?

Thanks
Rob

IMG_0869.jpg IMG_0534.JPG IMG_0533.jpg Thanks for all your help guys. Looks like standard 4 speed will be the way I go ? Thought I would add pictures of the other cars. My father was more into the E Types. We collected many cars over the years. When he passed 5 years ago I did bring myself to sell ...

The original flywheel and starter from the S3 car are with the gearbox
So I am assuming this will bolt straight onto the earlier 4-2 engine

Is the LT77 much longer than the standard gearbox and where does gearstick end up ?????

Prop can be cut to suit

Rob

I can buy a LT77 from S3 XJ6
All complete with bell housing etc
Only thing missing is clutch fork ?

Is this the way to go

Will tunnel need much cutting ??

Hi Rob...as far as im aware Heritage work on a confirm or deny system....they will not fill in the blanks without you supplying registration documents and other info..engine /gearbox numbers......its quite easy to buy a body shell that still has its body number....and quite easy to change a body nu...

I would love too but for some reason im now being told my pictures are to large to upload
