#1 Servo Reservoir / Heater Box

Post by colinevans » Wed Jul 13, 2022 12:25 pm

Hi Guys
A couple of quick questions as I have lost some of my pucs taken during the stripdown. Can anyone send me a good pic showing where the reservoir for the servo clamps to on the near side? Also what are the 3 lugs for that come off the bottom of the heater assembly for (see pic)?.
Cheers, Colin.

Colin, attached are some pics from my car - not sure what you need to see for the servo but hopefully these will help. Your heater motor doesn't look original, but my original has three similar lugs. I happen to have a cable routed through one lug, but I doubt they have any real purpose on an E type and maybe it was a standard motor that Jaguar used?

Hi Richard, thanks for that, it’s what I guessed on the heater. On the servo, what I could really do with a pic of is where the fluid reservoir is mounted. I’m not sure if it’s on the mudshield somewhere, an image would definitely help here.
Many thanks, Colin.

Ah, that's an easy one...there's a bracket between washer bottle and the heater box.

Also - since you also have a roadster, have you seen my post this morning ? If you are able to check a dimension for me, it would be a big help...understand if that may not be possible for you right now.

Thanks Richard, so that bracket screws to the bulkhead plate?
I’ll try and source one from one of the usuals.

Looks like the bulkhead blanking plate has an upstand welded to it.
