#1 Hi from Italy!!!

Post by Asterix » Tue May 16, 2023 2:23 pm

Hello everyone,
1 year ago I bought my first 1961 E-type roadster because 37 years ago I saw it for the first time and I promised myself that one day I would drive it.
For now, I've done a simple car service and a complete renovation of the brakes system. The Jag goes fast and I want to stop!!!
I have some problems with the Moss but it's not its fault, I should be improving.

Thank you for accepting me.

Welcome!

Try putting Redline MTL in the Moss box. It makes a difference but does take a few hundred miles to work its magic.

Welcome always nice to see new faces join :bigrin:

Did you just upgrade the pads or did you upgrade the calipers and discs?

The Moss box is a real pain that is why I upgraded to a five speed but there are options to fit later series 2 full syncro boxes as well as overdrive. Would be nice to see photos of your car.

I did this one with the silver calipers, excellent braking power.
