I was very nearly re-ended today by a large 4x4. Has any one any experience of fitting a high level 3rd brake light to an E-type S1 FHC, preferably without drilling or otherwise damaging the body? Are there stick on types that could go in the rear window?

Search on-line or go to a decent car accessories shoppe.

Plenty of stick-on types available I think.

Thanks for the advice on the brake lights. Still looking for something which doesn't obscure the rear view too much and is bright enough to make a difference. Interested in the note on your profile about MX5 seats in an e-type. Were they easy to fit? What version of MX5 did you use?

Yes, fitted them myself.

They are Mk1 MX5 seats purchased on eBay and re-trimmed in red leather from BAS who supplied my car's trim kit. The re-trimming was done by a company in Leicester.

The seats are fitted using installation brackets from Fosseway Performance and using the original Jaguar runners.

I've just done an 1,100 mile round trip in 5 days to the Spa Classic races. Wife and I were very comfortable.

On the E-type Club forum is now instructions for a way to fit the seats using the MX5 runners which somewhat smoother to operate and mean it is easier and quicker to swap seats should you want to.

HTH.

Many thanks, Jerry. I have now found the parts you mention, just got to get on with it! Richard
