THE INTERNATIONAL JAGUAR 'S'-TYPE REGISTER FORUM

Some pictures of rivet clips attached to doors. (Mk2)

Love those photos.....keep them coming. Pics are worth many, many words. Do you have other photos??????


Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I unfortunately did not photograph fitting chrome to my car but will post reference stuff I find. Most of it is easy going. If you have a sticking point we will figure it out with pics. Kit I used.

I seem to recognize most of the kit in the bag are the three brass coloured threaded ones a modification of the front door bolted N/S & O/S and the bonnet/hood one by the Jaguar motive ?. Also are the bonnet/hood side trim folding type clips in the bag as well ?.
I take this kit is from Barrett's.
Thanks again for this information Glyn saves trawling through the various part numbers if all the trim fittings come as a kit which is great nice and easy to order.

Three yellow plated T clips are for front of front door waist trims & trim piece ahead of the leaper.

All bonnet/hood folding tab clips included.

Kit is from Barratts ~ SBS1271FK

Barratts new Website is still a work in progress. If you don't know the P/N you can't find the damn thing anywhere under S Type. I've been paging back through my orders/invoices. I really wish they would leave the darn thing alone. When I made up my order listing I included part numbers & pictures of parts to make identification easier for my restorer. Thank heaven I did that. They have even changed what they call certain parts on the website.

To be honest I hate using Barratt's for exactly the reason,their web site is a waste of time for the S type not user friendly at all.
Thanks for the kit P/N that will save time.
