This is on offer from one of the usuals here in the UK . Looks good in the advert but it’s an insignificant piece of crap . Mine didn’t come close to fitting , so it’s going back . And at a hundred quid , not cheap .
Too bad. Looks nice.
Wow, hundred quid… I have a CNC machine in our factory which would mill that quickly and easily out of a shiny piece of aluminium… I´m in the wrong buisness…
Careful: you might start getting orders!!!
And the holes in yours would be in the right place
Just thought I’d ask , is there any difference in the spacing of the camshaft studs throughout the XK range .
Hi,
I don’t think so. All the cam covers I’ve ever had fit all the cylinder heads I’ve ever had, bolt wise, not regarding the RH side (exhaust) tach feed opening/fitting.
Cheers!
I do not believe there is… so you can fill orders from 120s, all the way to S3 engines!
…which my rat rod is powered by.
No hint, er nuthin’.
That’s what I thought , thanks for the confirmation .
You could bend the tabs and make it fit.
And paint the lettering with mat black paint?
I wonder why they didn’t use the original Jaguar font.
The tabs though out of line , are not the real problem , it’s the main body , which needs to be filed to allow the tabs to move further towards the centre and thus allow the holes to line up . A bit off each end , about 3/16ths in total . They have sold hundreds , and my car is the only one that they don’t fit , of course ! They are sending another one .
Looks like they are trying to mimic the font on the spinners/knock-offs. Looks pretty hideous to me, but I guess others think differently…
