Brake MC Reservoir Question, Part Deux

Inside the brake MC reservoir cap there appears to be a hard rubber insert that allows the cap to screw into the reservoir bottle. How do you get this out without destroying it? Is it an adapter that would allow the cap to be used in other applications (like on another make of vehicle?) Can that ada...

Re: afwrench

Tho' I didn't know Mike, I'd seen his many posts and gained knowledge from his generous thoughts. However, since Tom Martinez and I both owned GTCs, we emailed from time to time, exchanged parts for fabrication and shared embellished tales at the Quail when Tom Y. had his Monterey meet and greets.

Daytona Trim/Paint Question

There's an aluminium strip that runs at the bottom of the rocker panels; about 2" in width. Is that supposed to be body panel color or semi-gloss black?

Re: Daytona Brake Caliper Rebuild

I was able to rebuild mine, so it can't be that hard. I did have to get professional help to get the pistons out of the bore, and it was a few years ago, so I'll probably miss a few things, but i know that you use compressed air to blowout the pistons, gently hone the bores, use the special brake lu...

Re: 330 door mirrors

Just installed a Fosseway clip on mirror on my '64 XKE. Easy, non-destructive design and easy placement; nice period look, fast shipping from England, and great owner communication. So far,so good. s

Re: 330 door mirrors

Never say never! I will admit that I've always thought that these "clip-on" or "clamp-on" mirrors were ugly. However, I find that I may be in need of one or both side mirrors on my (new to me) '64 XKE/ OTS. I raised this conundrum over on the Jaguar-Lovers forum, and a number of people who own Briti...

Re: 330 door mirrors

Well, I cast my vote with those who favor the mirror; both sides if possible. I've been impressed with the number of times that's impossible to get the right side mirror to give a good view, while simultaneously being symmetrical with the driver's mirror when viewed from the front or back, straight ...
