- Pin bearing cage, transmission. Hard to see it well enough… final answer.
- Front oil slinger, engine? (It’s been a while).
- Brake pad forks…
- Rear spring collett
- bonnet shim
- Early rear inner fulcrum bearing bush
10.early rear inner fulcrum needle bearing - rear handbrake caliper bolt
- front shock bush
Something wrong with the posting, Got a couple of numbers transposed but the edit function won’t work
10 is the rear inner fulcrum bearing
11 is the handbrake caliper bolt
12 is the shock bush
- a complete, though worn out, bearing, but what is its purpose?
- no.
- not what it’s called but I’m sure you recognise it
I fixed the numbering for you … all direct hits (specifically the horizontal adjustment bonnet shim).
Hey, the numbering got screwed up on my post, too. Another little bug, Andrew. numbers should read:
2
5
7
10
11
12

I have a whole bunch of those parts I could send you to add to your collection. Would help clean out my parts drawers!!!

Just what I need Len! More junk to pile onto the junk I can’t bring myself to turf.

Edit: in fairness, those who’ve only torn apart a 3.8 car won’t get Number 1.
#1 Brake master to servo boost?
It’s clear you recognise the part and its geography, Craig.
#6 is the lock plate for one of the screws holding gearbox and clutch housing together
John North
#3 is the lock washer that holds the big nut at the end of the GB mainshaft
John North
Yes and yes.
…
… makes one realize how complicated an automobile is.
quiz over. This is the identity of #1
but what’s #8?
I’ve been scratching my head … maybe a part from my XK120 junk box fell into my E-type junk box?
Yeah, looks like it.
Basically the same function as no. 9 then?
I think the bonnet shim is homemade. Number 5 maybe a rear camber shim. Number 3 under the front crank bolt? Seven and 10 - agree for the rear fulcrums, 4 and 11 hand brake.
Another interesting visit to JL today. I learned about 1, 3, 8 and “Cloaca” (which I thought was part of a piece of fried chicken).
–Drew
Yup.
Could be homemade - came with the car though. Number 3 locks the big nut on the gearbox mainshaft or constant pinion shaft.
No. Those parts only go into chicken dogs. Yummy.
