There is no guide to what goes where....you can look up the part numbers for the bolts on the Jag parts catalogue and there is a Bolt decoder in the Knowledge base....Steve ..ps the SC parts catalogue also has good bolt info....

As Steve says, a lot of the fasteners are specified in the parts manual using a code. "Special" fasteners are only identified by a Jaguar part number which is less helpful.
The fastener code is here https://www.dropbox.com/s/vbkgbwl4b3tyc ... s.pdf?dl=1
The SC Parts manual has some useful information, as does the SNG Barratts site.
SNG Barratts and David Manners, both in the UK, are good reliable places to get parts. SC Parts, maybe less so :-)

Many bolts of the day weren't considered special, but are today. The standard now is that, up to a certain length, the whole of the shank is threaded. From then on the thread length remains constant and the length increase is made in the plain section of the shank. Many bolts used with the E Type have a much greater plain shank to thread ratio than is available off the shelf today.
Generally, you will be able to get standard bolts that have a plain shank section length the same, or quite close to the original bolt used, but the overall length is far greater due to the standard length threaded section. My resolve is to occasionally set a CNC lathe to machine a batch of bolts to the correct overall and thread length. I also machine the shallow cup shape in the face of the bolt head, the same as the original, so, although not exactly the same as the original with its markings, at a glance looks exactly the same as the original.
Regards,
Bill
