Welcome to the fun.
First off, we need to know whether the car is left hand or right hand steering.
Right hand drive had the two air cleaners below the carbs.
Left hand drive had the one big air cleaner above the carbs.
Next, is the engine 1-1/2, 2-1/2, or 3-1/2 Litre?
The exhaust manifolds are different for all three engines.
If you were able to put together a list of the parts you think you are missing then people will be able to help, I’m sure. For instance, the exhaust manifold are the same on a MKIV as a MKV which might make them easier for you to find.
Is there any supplier for the manifold studs? I have several manifold sets to do including a few rough jobs where some studs have been welded or brazed in. Also, I’ve heard it is better to go stainless steel to eliminate the rust seizure of the nut. Has anyone any experience with this application using steel and brass nuts?
I have stainless steel studs and lock washers and bronze nuts on my XK120, and have been happy with that, having removed and reinstalled them a couple of times. I made the studs myself by cutting some threaded rod stock.
Thanks gents. I was considering the threaded rod route for simplicity. The Motalia ones are symmetrically threaded whereas the correct ones need the blank centre section offset to provide the extra length for the flange, gasket and nut, and to not have excess thread projecting through the manifold flange. I might contact them to see if they can do a modified version.
I may be very late with this message, however if you are still after a Jaguar SS 3.5ltr logo/ emblem. I have exactly the same 1. I’ve got no idea what it’s worth but throw a offer
Hi Glenn,
Thank you for contacting me, but that’s not what I’m looking for.
You have a pre-war SS 3 1/2 badge and the Mark IV needs a post-war Jaguar 3 1/2 badge (no SS letters).
