My 6.5 inch wheels have now been sold.

Hi Stuart
I didn't realise you were still around!
Just to be entirely clear, the difference in asking price is that previously it included tyres, now it doesn't.
However, if you are interested and/or DHT changes his mind, whereabouts in the country are you located?
Cheers, David17SR

For Mike K: The larger diameter hole that you can see in the photo is what I drilled all the way through the assembly for my pop rivets. This is lined up when the shaft is assembled. The smaller holes that you can see above and below this in the hollow part of the shaft are where the nylon plug/ring...

I've now solved my problem and thought I should post it here in case it helps anyone else. I took the steering column out of the car and dismantled it. I found that my diagnosis had been correct, that is, the upper and lower sections of the collapsible inner column did indeed have rotational free pl...

Dear DHT (Sorry, I'm confused about your name!) My 6.5 inch wheels are made by MWS, model number XW5738. They have stainless steel spokes and are the latest version which doesn't need an inner tube i.e. can be used with tubeless tyres. They have the centre-laced spoke layout, which I guess you know ...

Hello Reg Since my original post I had a change of plan and ended up buying a replica set of the "Dunlop" D-type racing alloys. Not exactly original for a S2 E-type but I saw some on another car and liked the look! I was able to use my existing tyres on these wheels, so now I just have the set of 6....

1968 Series 2 FHC. My seat runners are so stiff that it is almost impossible to adjust the seats, and even then they only move a couple of inches back or forward. So I'd like to remove the seats and lubricate the runners. However I can't see how to get access to any fastenings to do this. It looks l...

Hi suarthardy, You are right, I am going for originality so I would want flat hub wheels and in fairly immaculate condition. It probably makes sense to leave this thread running for a while to see if anything turns up. However, if not I would then be interested in selling my wheels. I've uploaded a ...

I'm a brand new E-Type owner so I've got nothing to compare with, but yes, my S2 4.2 FHC also has a loud and unpleasant drone inside the car when on the power (such as when cruising at motorway speeds). I've got to change my exhausts anyway, (as I've got a Getrag 5-speed gearbox which leaves me with...

I've just bought a S2 E-Type fitted with very nice fairly new MWS 6.5 inch, curly hub, centre laced chrome wheels and brand new tubeless 205/70VR15 tyres, Pirelli P4000 on the back and Vredestein on the front. However I've a hankering to get back to standard 5 inch wheels and 185VR15 tyres. Does any...

I'm a new Jaguar owner, having just bought a 1968 early S2 UK RHD FHC. My car has got an annoying small amount of slack in the steering column - that is, the steering wheel turns a small amount before any movement is transmitted to the steering rack. I've traced the free play to the upper steering c...
