The 'E' Type Forum

Hi Angus, Good point. I have been reasured by JLC that their bonnets are 'e-coated'. "With e-coating, the substrate is immersed in a bath that may consist of paint, epoxy or other water-based solution. An electric current is then used to attract the particles that are suspended in the liquid solutio...

I bought a replacement prop shaft from the usual suspects. Looked really good although the black paint was quite poor. Especially in areas where the primer was missing? I only know this as I stripped the black paint off very easily and found about half the surface area actually had any primer on it....

I bought a new 'Jaguar Land Rover Classic' bonnet and had quite a few issues with it. The head lamp chrome fastener captive nuts didn't line up with either an original chrome bezel or the aftermarket ones? https://i.postimg.cc/T3Tbptgc/IMG-20230207-WA0000.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/4dH7rqRX/IMG-202302...

Cheers

Just an update on my JLR mild steel silencer that doesn't fit properly - So I returned the silencer to JLR and they refunded me, no problem. I have retained the JLR mild steel pipes and chromed rear muffler. So I was hoping to fit the Classic Fabs Stainless steel middle silencer to the JLR pipes but...

H...

Hi there (what’s your name?), I recently fitted a Jaguar Heritage exuast and it certainly wasn’t mis-aligned as yours. I reckon yours has been damaged in storage or shipping. Mine fitted perfectly. Whatever your decision, you definitely need to return yours and either get a replacment or refund. Go...

I bought the Jaguar classic mild steel system and the quality is not very good for the money. The middle silencer assembly which is basically two silencers side by side welded together, were twisted!! Worse than that, I couldn't fit them as the mounting points did not match the floor mounting points...
