The 'E' Type Forum

Hello, Having re chromed my bumpers over the winter, I am now in the process of refitting them. Yes I should have taken more notes!
The front left was always a little' droopy' which seems common on E types, and I would like to get that corrected. The rears are ok other than the overriders which now look slightly out from vertical and point outwards more than I recall. The stickies have been useful but do not fully show how they all should be aligned.
Can anyone point me to a post or topic covering the fitting and aligning of S1 bumpers, and do these wedges vary in thickness as the various stamping so suggest?

Hi - those are not E-type bumper washers. Look online at SNG Barratt for the correct ones.

Thank you Barrie. Don't you just love the 1980's restorations, that'll,explain a few things! I'd still like to find more tips on fitting up in case I need to order more corrected parts.

Checked the parts book (plate 38 ) and I could not find those washers right away, found something interesting though, part# BD10313.

No wonder my seals never stick to the bumper, Jaguar used clips to secure them. Anyone have a photo of a bumper with clips installed?

Found a parts diagram though, #32 is the clip, #30 is the washer I remember from installing bumpers in my '61.

You can actually buy a complete bolt and spacer kit for front and rear at SNG, and its cheap.

Numbers are BBK15 and BBK16.

Thanks Carsten, front bolt and spacer kit not currently in stock, Doh...washers mysteriously not listed, will call SNG.

I know. I am waiting for it myself, i could only get the rear bolt and spacer kit.

But my front end is still a year ago, so I can wait...
