Re: Air cleaner not horizontal

so that's what that clip is for !! I have it but nothing going through it and I had no clue.
By the way I cropped and reduced the size of the picture to 137 KB from 2.3 megabytes. It was awfully big and takes forever to render.

Re: Air cleaner not horizontal

no, that sheath is fine, it is a hard cardboard or similar material "tunnel" through which the wires run to the rear and front. It has a rivetted bracket and the bracket has a foot under one of the D washers. I think it is called a Loom. ??

Re: Air cleaner not horizontal

ohhh, early production, maybe I should attach the later hoist brackets? my XJ-6 has them. or should I dream about finding the Churchill bracket tool? can you still get the spark plug wiring Loom thing?

Re: Air cleaner not horizontal

also found out that the air cleaner bracket Washers are Round, not "D". In my engine, the "D" washers are not on the air cleaner bracket "feet". Also I do not have the engine "hoist pulls". I wonder what happened here. S-type-air-cleaner-bracket-foot-washer.jp...

Re: Air cleaner not horizontal

not just that but my spark plug ends or "heads" all have LUCAS impressed on them, and I have not seen any other spark plug wires like that.

Re: Air cleaner not horizontal

ok, that settles that question with mine. I had not noticed it levels straight with the data plate. I have removed it several time and it just falls in place once the "mouth" is inserted into the aluminium intake, very easy. my engine also has the stabilizers and I replaced the rubber bush...
