Thanking you for my Vicarious Thrill of the Day !!

Corrosion in the bulb socket ?? Try a little scraping or cleaner while it is not energised, then try the bulb in there again.

It does look like there is no wire going to that post in the picture, but can't be sure. At any rate, measure the voltage coming into the reg and the voltage coming out and you will have your answer

Well, after careful consideration........ I made my own new staples. (1/2 inch crown, 1/2 inch tall) easily bent over a form and made from wire. Then using a sharp awl, I pre-penetrated the rubber to mate with the former holes in the aluminum, and pressed the new staples through. A little...

My 2 cents worth: Everything is easier with the Engine hanging clear of the car.

From many years experience with these type of fuse holders I would say, yes, squeezing the contacts helps to maintain contact. But...... Defeat the Prince of Darkness and get rid of that old box if peace of mind is something you would like while driving.

Hadn't gotten around to think about windscreen wipers as the TC isn't on the road yet. So I pulled out blades from the spares box and found two sets. Both are Anco with the wind scoops to hold them down at speed .One set is 13 inch, and the other 15 inch. I guess I will look for replacement 15...

I have new rubber seals for the doors and wings. Originally these were attached by some kind of industrial staples which could penetrate both the rubber and the aluminum frame they are attached to. I don't have any such stapler, so I am wondering what other method might attach these seals . Hope...

I believe the T5 is the gearbox I had in my 1985 AMC Eagle 4.2 I loved it.

I do remember the heavey synchros in the Jag Gearbox. Double clutch, or have a lot of patience.

Thoroughly enjoy that video !! I expect I should make a similar one to see if anyone can explain the jumps that my capillary guage makes at idle. I replaced my cooler oil lines with high pressure hose and secured the old brass fittings with C clamps : no problems at all. Thanks for the trip...

I think I had a toy play set that looked just like that !!

Now just add duct tape, some bailing wire, and a good set of vice-grips and we're set to go !

Found the March 1964 Version of that list in my collection. (came with the 65 200SC) It is labelled "British Isles Edition"
