Someone did say that around the mid sixties there were so many strikes in the Jaguar factory and with the supplies that it was a case of whatever was in the bin went on to the car. Good job B&Q was not around at the time! We could have had anything fitted. Sounds like the Johnny Cash song "One piece at a time" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws-_syszg84

You are spot on Rob with the photo of the metal plug with lugs, the ones I have left in my boot well are metal with the lugs and the one missing you can see two lug marks on the edges of the hole, so all mine were originally metal. Built 15th July 1965 dispatched 9th August 1965 a strike period perhaps !!.
Incidentally Glyn, I have looked all through my Jaguar parts catalogue the green one, publication No J.35 and I could not find that part, in fact several times now you have found part numbers I cannot find, are you using a different parts book ? or some other method to find various difficult parts ?.
You seems to be able to come up with pictures and parts number without a problem, brilliant !!.
Cheers

Dave ~ I've literally read the SPC cover to cover 100's of times during my restoration & got used to finding things.

These clips are out of SPC Revision November 1970 because I have it electronically. I also have the green one in hard copy.

Thanks, Glyn. Very useful.

Also shows BD15588/5 so they were obviously used interchangeably.
