Just to clarify a few things.
I am Australian, live in Australia and indeed contribute significantly to the Australian (ACJC) equivalent of JCNA in matters Concours originality, and my writings/publications to date have been in British based specialist Jaguar magazines and books, and indeed contributions to European specialist Jaguar books and indeed web-sites, but indeed nothing in USA nor indeed JCNA, albeit I have made regular contributions to American authors and indeed JCNA to use as they see fit.
But no, my work on TOOLS and TOOL-KITS is all my own research and initiative, albeit soliciting help wherever I need it or from whoever can help, such as indeed my current theme on this forum seeking help on demarcation details regarding Metallifacture Jacks, and indeed as George mentioned, his supply of an incredibly useful Hornburg Bulletin re USA market (only) 1968MY cars lack-of-receiving-any tool-kit . So NO - my efforts are most definitely NOT based on anything JCNA at all, indeed quite the contrary - I am providing my work and research on and as requested, to help develop a JCNA work in progress, which I understand will be appropriately acknowledged when completed.
What I am doing, and have been doing for some 40+ years is researching tool-kit detail to a level way beyond what is conceivably practical to apply in a JCNA Concours environment which I have to say, JCNA is appropriately USA-centric and sensibly so for their parochial USA environment, and is accordingly necessarily subject to JCNA Policy decisions.
As with my request on this forum for help on METALLIFACTURE Jacks, my research has concluded on there being SIX distinctly very different major variants, and I will detail all, including as close as possible to my target of monthly accuracy demarcations between the variants - this level of detail is NOT supported by any factory documentation that has ever surfaced from factory archives, albeit it may be there somewhere within internal Engineering Drawings or supply contracts.
JCNA as I understand it, will and can only differentiate between only the TWO variants that are identifiably supported by available factory documentation, the FHC/OTS version or the 2+2 version, each having a different part-number. If after I publish my detailed SIX-variant efforts in a UK magazine that circulates Internationally, if JCNA wish to expand their guidelines to recognise more than their current two variants, up to say maybe four, five or indeed all six of my variants, then that’s a JCNA policy decision to make one way or the other, and go through their very necessary approval processes. Of course I will help, IF REQUESTED.
But lets keep this in perspective, Tool-Kits are only a very small part of the balanced content of the various JCNA E-Type Judges guides, so can only cover matters-originality at a macro level, and not to my detailed-micro level. Those who want the satisfaction of having their tool-kits as 100% accurate as possible, will need to refer to my published papers - this level is just NOT published anywhere else, but watch out for the rapid Ebay response soon after. Those who simply want to maximise their score in a JCNA Concours, should refer to the relevant JCNA Judges guide and comply at least with those ‘macro-level rules’. If you want to play the JCNA game, you abide by the JCNA rules, and as George has pointed out, if you are unhappy about any judged aspect, there is a Protest protocol that will fully consider your concerns, and update the JCNA rules if found necessary/ warranted within prevailing policy guidelines.
Anyone with a Tool-Kit that fully complies with my detailed published papers, will have no trouble at all, fully complying with JCNAs far-abbreviated expectations.
Publication of my DETAILED papers on E-type Tool-Kits is scheduled to commence from I expect the APRIL 2017 issue of Philip Porter’s British specialist monthly magazine THE E-TYPE available by direct subscription only, but it does enjoy an extensive world-wide circulation to E-Type owners and enthusiasts, including those in USA and I dare say also to some members of JCNA. But as above, apart from some help from George and most likely some other probable members of JCNA, my detailed publications owe little, if anything at all to JCNA - living in Australia, I am not a member.
But please, as previously - if anyone has any questions or input re SS and Jaguar Tool-Kits, and not just E-types, I am more than happy to respond, direct, or on-forum. I do have a wealth of information/detail/photos on all Tool-Kits from 1932 SS.1 through 1975 V12 E-type and later, albeit I do not have the same interest/passion for later models. A MAJOR stand-alone book I am working on covers SS and Jaguar Tools and Tool-Kits (1932 to 1975), with the SS-Jaguar period, XK period and E-type period well progressed, but publication is years away.
