The 'E' Type Forum

Hi all

I am trying to locate a new chrome bezel piece that sits on at the top of the gaiter boot. Could someone provide me with a part number or link to a place that sell them as I can't find them on SNG.



Any help much appreciated

Thanks

Trevor

Trevor,

I had a job finding one when I fitted a (non standard) leather gaiter to my S1.

The part was not listed under the e -type, but was in the XK-120 catalogue. I have not checked , but presume it is still the case.

A word of warning. The originals had a nylon tapered inner nut to trap the gaiter. The new ones have a brass one. This rattles like crazy against the gear lever, and drives me nuts. I can't face taking the tunnel off again, so have had a bus ticket stuffed down around the gear lever for 8 years. I would think a rubber sleeve or top-hat bushing might do the job better.

Regards,

Rob.

Having a look online I've found 2 different bezels.

The first has is part number BD19728 and has a brass inner nut


The second is from SNG part number BD19728/9 and has a plastic inner nut and appears more curved.


Could someone tell me which shape is correct for my 1967 4.2 series 1?

Thanks

Trevor

Sorry guys, giving this topic a bump as I still don't know which gaiter surround is the correct one, can someone help?

Hi Trevor try looking up the part numbers....in the knowledge base S1 4.2 parts catalogue shows chrome gear gaiter bezel BD19728 used for 1E 20001-1E20102 and 1E 30001-1E30349 hope this might help..Steve

White nylon threaded insert on mine, with a conical male section that seats into a corresponding conical female section inside the chromed bezel. Between these two the leatherette gaiter is gripped. I'm sure it's original as my car has been pretty much unmolested.

Oh and that black thing on the right is all that remains of the rubber gaiter. It was sitting inside the leatherette one and not doing any good obviously.

This forum is fantastic ......I was looking , last Saturday,for that part on the SNG part catalogue for 3.8 and found nothing on . This afternoon i am lucky with these posts ......
Part already ordered....
