Congratulations on your new E-type.
I find it the best looking shape of all the E’s.
Cheers … Ole
Worse the Aston Vanquish…….That had a 5% shot of making 8,000 miles…

I’m going with the repro plate as it is coated for the gas but a little bending has to be done
We shall see
It all looks wonderful
Tomorrow we star it and see from front to back if anything leaks
Repo is to the left in the picture…

Oh, duh! I shoulda known that was an Aston nose!!!
Here is the screening from the original pipe
It was broken and laying in the sump bowl
Just destroyed
More guess work out of the way
For the purist, I waited for years for this…
Sng now has the original strapping with the WHITE buttons!
Repro for years were a harder black plastic with black buttons
These are more of a rubber with the white /clear buttons
Just like the originals
Nice touch for strapping fuel lines and wire looms
I’m happy!

And my unrestored 67 dhc had the harder straps with several black buttons among the mostly white ones.
is it me?
I cleaned the original sending unit as this was the repro
I wasn’t putting this in?
Um my old one was a straight shaft and all metal!
I’ll take that overplastic with ethanol
Look at the kookie design?
Is this even close?
All done
I’ll wait for the sealer to dry
Add a gallon and see if she is dry!
Note stainless screws and washers!

The repro senders have always looked crappy. The original ones are easy enough to clean out and calibrate.
Update…
The car ran fine with one exception
I never liked the banjos
They always leak so I took off the banjos on the pump and swapped them with series 3 e type nipples!
They are great and seal to the black o ring
6 less spots to leak!
You know those plastic chrome rings that crack and fade and it’s so rare you can’t find them…
Aid auto store has the flex chrome trim for door edges
10 dollars for 35 etype!
Anyone want some pm me
It took about 10 minutes to do all three
Cleans up the back for sure
