Yes, beautiful, Joe. Think your camera lens might need a clean, though. :)

Very Nice Joe
Just remember the gutter drip chrome over the windows goes in first before the "B" pillar chrome as the joining clip is screwed in under the "B" pillar chrome. A mistake I made and had to take the door rubbers off to get to the screws that hold the "B" pillar in place to get to the screw to hold the gutter drip chrome on.

Water pump pulley, fan, radiator, shroud, and alternator installed the correct way. Still need to modify the generator pulley to fit on the alternator. Not shown in the photos are the installation of the brake fluid bottle, windscreen washer bottle, and fuel filter.

Nice, Joe. It's coming on.

I notice your modern alternator. Does your car not have power steering? Dynators are very popular here in the UK with those who want an alternator with the original dynamo look and the ability to power a steering pump. http://www.wosperformance.co.uk/products/dynators/.

I bought mine from http://www.accuspark.co.uk/dynamator.htm £159.99 now. You will require the C42 Dynamator which comes in Pos+ or Neg- earth and also with the PAS takeoff on the back should you require it. Identical to the Lucas C42 body just the Dynamo removed and an alternator fitted inside the original body.
Well worth the money as it will look original, fit on the original brackets and the pulleys all line up perfectly. No need to change anything on the car.

No power steering. Putting in a vintage radio with amp and needed the extra amps. It is a 60-amp compact alternator that bolts onto the existing brackets. You just have to grind off about 1/4" on the shoulder of the generator's pulley. Got it here: https://retroair.com/jaguaraircondition ... rkits.html

I think Jose has mentioned this company in the past. $249 USD comes out at £196 so the Dynamator is cheaper but pointless if you have already purchased the one you have.
Loving the brass radiator top. Who did you copy that off? lol.
