Scott's Jag goes home

 Good morning Folks,


Well, Yellow Jaguar went home yesterday!  It took quite awhile to get the correct hoses then it turned into a son of a gun to get the bottom hose to fit correctly.  It really wasn't very interesting so I haven't added to the blog for awhile but since I kinda left it hanging I thought I'd better finish it up.




Well, not sure why I included this picture other than to show you that the coolant pipe hoses were connected up, Scott should never have to worry about the bulkhead pipes again with the new ones being stainless steel. 

The hose fitting for the lower radiator hose was a two piece affair with a metal pipe in between,even with the second set of hoses it was cut and fit and repeat, what a PITA. 

Naturally the first hose clamp was stripped and had to be cut off

The replacement hoses are on the left and as you can see there is no way that they are going to replace the one on the right!

No matter how you arrange them 



I didn't like the looks of this piece

Cleaned up just a bit

Scott said the interior light didn't work and I had thought II had found the culprit when I found where the mouse had damaged the wire on the passenger front footwell.  I was a little surprised when it didn't work so finally tracked it down to this connector that wouldn't connect ;-) Sometimes these 50 year old connectors break inside and the only thing you can do is replace them.  The light worked once again.

I did a little bit of cleaning on the car while I was waiting for Scott to have time to come out and pick up YJ

Heading out!

Well, that's it for now.  
Cheers,
Lynn

Not an official blog entry just a few things that I took care of over the weekend while waiting for parts that are supposed to arrive today: These pictures are completely out of order but this picture is obviously of the seat bottom on the passenger side.  The rubber diaphragm will need to be replaced in the near future as they have become brittle with time and on the drivers seat the front has cracked/broken off so that it's unsupported.  I used a bit of bailing wire to bodge it and it may hold for a bit longer but suspect it will eventually rip through the rubber diaphragm.   The drivers side after cleaning The floors are very solid under the seats No Rust at all The bottom of the drivers seat with the missing clips, as I mentioned I reenforced this area with a bit of bailing wire but probably should think about replacing the diaphragms in the future The sun-visors where loose and wouldn't tighten up, investigating revealed that a screw that was to long had been us...

August 29, 2020 Coolant hoses

 Evening Folks,  First I want to say Happy Birthday to a Friend,  Harold is a WW2 veteran and turning 97 today.  My very good friends Ed and Michele are back in Boston to celebrate with Patty, Doug and Harold!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Today I finished installing the rest of the interior and replacing the coolant hoses,  unfortunately I found an area of corrosion that Scott will want to address at some point.  I was running the overflow reservoir and I noticed the passage was blocked with a  piece of metal that shouldn't have been there. Closer investigation revealed that someone had done a repair there presumably when the sill was replaced prior to Scott's ownership. The hose replacement has been pretty straight forward aside from that and that the hose kit doesn't include two of the primary to secondary manifold hoses.  We can either stop and wait or I can do them at a later date but it's up to Scott. Nothing else to share, stay well! Cheers, Lynn...
