Thinking you may have a stripped gear in the trans.

+Rudderify - Joe, We discovered that the wheels weren't seating well and with a substantial amount of hammering, they stopped making the noise I was hearing.  I am planning to replace them with new higher quality wheels, so I can eliminate one source of ratating noise.  There is still a clunk when starting out in gear both forward and reverse, so I am now looking at U-joints or my Diff may be poorly shimmed?  I don't really know yet, but I am working on it.

@satajet883 Rich, thanks - that is a GREAT suggestion and I would have not thought of it so thanks a million. I am pretty sure I'm going to remove the copper and replace it - have had an email from a fellow Jag restorer in the SF Bay Area who owns a machine shop and he offered to make a sleeve from stainless for me. I'm driving up there this morning and will video the process to ammend to this video series.

Great attention to detail. On the small chance of a galvanic corrosion issue with the Steele bolt going through a copper sleeve. Maybe a coat of never-seize or even nolox ( for aluminum electrical connections). Or just a dab of grease. Just thinking lol.

Forgive my ignorance John..But I would have thought the "hot" water inlet to the heater core would have entered from the lower section and exited from the upper one just like a radiator does but I'm not familiar the E-type setup..BTW...We use those terms too..near side and off side...Can you guess why.?.If the brake kit is road legal,I'd make that fit...Loved the viv mate...All my thumbs are up.

Hi Bud, they arent peculiar to Jags, yep I reckon I've used copper brake pipes for 30yrs in the UK, they're quite malleable if thats the right word, good for pig-tails for clutch lines, personally i prefer cupronickel but are stiffer to shape, Sorry to hijack Johns comment! Cheers Scott

Yeah Automec are the pipe people, I always used to use them until I got a flaring tool!! Glad you got the brass union on :-) Those heater pipes in the bulkhead are a pain in the rear!!!!! Bettie is looking very nice.....especially with that brake union!!! lol

Ruben, to be honest I don't know. Neil (Danelectro68) used them for his tR5, and Scott (TTCOS11) also said they are still in business, so I suspect these are available as an option but maybe price causes folks to stay with zinc plated steel tube lines.

Always a good idea to dry/test fit the parts that need to fit properly and also you will have them found and know where they are when you need to install them into the car. Coming along real nicely. Keep us up to date. Cheers OLDDUDE

Ziggy, I actually have no idea of the flow, but I assumed that the on/off heater valve wouldbe on the inlet. COuld be the other way around though. What does nearside and offside mean in relation to the driver/passenger terminology?

ZIGgassedUP commented on 09 Jan 2013
It all started from the mounting side of a horse.."near side"(left side).when they put a buggy/wagon behind it the left side was called the near side too..and so on when the horseless carriage "automobile" came on the scene.

If I remember rightly they also sold the flaring tools and kits of unions as well under the Handy name.

I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Jag Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree

IMHO You obviously got the money, but do you really love those wheels? Wires are so Jaguar, I can not image this car without them. Love the interior. Although a more period steering wheel would great, like stock, maybe stock with thicker wood, or a smaller diameter stock design with thicker wood and especially the stock center.

Dreadful. The aesthetics have been completely ruined. The ridiculously large alloys are completely out of character and at odds with the beautiful lines of the E. What were you thinking?! This is the equivalent of seeing Her Majesty the Queen in a black tracksuit & Nike Air training shoes! FUBAR.

The flag stone is beautiful. I like your idea of the ground cover between the concrete squares for the parking area. It will make the area cooler on the cars without the radiant heat off of the concrete hitting them. Thanks for the videos.
