Hi Folks,
I'm now getting back to completing work on my 1965 Jaguar "S" type, 3.8 auto with Power Steering, chassis P1B 56135BW.
My current problem is ascertaining the correct route for the two vacuum hoses, one from the inlet manifold to the vacuum reservoir tank, and the the other from the tank to the servo.

The present route has the hoses meandering around the engine bay, and then coming through the lower edge of the servo "shield ". ( See the first photo, one hose has been removed. By being forced through the bottom edge of the servo shield, the hoses are very mis-shaped, and one has almost worn through.)
There is an unused hole just forward of the servo shield ( see second photo) which might be more sensible, but it isn't really big enough for the two hoses side-by-side.
Please would someone enlighten me as to the factory approved route, as I'm sure mine is not how Jaguar intended, although a sensible route is not obvious to me.
Richard
