#1 Where do sick E-Types go to die...?

Post by No Quarter » Thu Jan 12, 2023 6:33 am

I know that most E-Types, expecially early ones, are being restored, even from a state that other brands would not. Mine is a good example, too far gone some would say. But some of them are being split up and sold as parts or?

I need the two bonnet brackets in the picture, and my 3 favorite vendors tell me they are not available. But is there an E-Type junkyard anywhere, where the few not available parts can be sourced?

I believe this is part BD18767. Available from a number of suppliers in the UK and the US.

Yes, Barratt's have them. Though at that price you could bend and shape a piece of steel to do the job for a fraction of the cost.

Pesnion fund. Yes, I know people here in Denmark that has tonnes of parts from too far gone E-Types, but they won't sell anything...

Thanks for part#, ended up buying a pair at €€€, I can make something solid, but not something that looks OEM

Solved :smile: Great forum this...
