Well for all you 5-speed thread watchers. Wait until spring and I'll start a Mangoletsi throttle cable installation thread. Interestingly, it will be on the same Jaguar that our buddy GT Joey installed the Guy Broad 5-speed on. "How is that Bob?" you may ask, well it seems that Joey's baby with the rebuild XK engine and IRS, 123 Ignition distributor, high torque starter, Ron Davis Radiator, EZ Power Steering, and many other assorted SNG Barratt goodies is now parked in my garage, along with Mangoletsi kit that Joey bought a few weeks back.

I have other projects occupying my time at the moment, along with enjoying driving the 5-speed (simply amazing) But in the spring, I will tackle this project and attempt to create a thread outlining it. I'm not nearly as entertaining as Joey, and not nearly as experienced at working on Jags as he is, but I've done many of the same upgrades on my Series 2.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!

Bob just curious if you ended up doing this project. It would be great to read about it.
