Enjoy!

More chewing gum for the eyes.

A platform for his grandstanding.

Having skimmed it, the useful content in that video would take up 5 minutes.

It wouldn’t include the nonsense about the rear wheel arch sealing, which absolutely was addressed by the factory, as a simple regard in the J30 parts book would confirm.

My 67 OTS confirms that the seals in the wheel arches were in place originally, at least at the end of series 1. I found one folded (for some reason) flange but this picture shows the rest of a rubber seal between this flange and the rear wing pan:


This I reproduced upon restoration recently, using swimming pool rubber liner:



pinched by the flange, itself being pop riveted against the arch wall:



I must grant Chuck from Moncoque Metalwork for explaining me about all this as I could not find the know how in the usual manuals.

Hi,I don't buy the Norton Feather Bed frame thing either,as far as I know the frame work on the front of an E Type is there because Malcolm Sayer came from the aircraft industry.
