Re: Miss Kitty - 1965 Jaguar S-Type 3.8 RHD
Got it.....ordered a new rubber bush and bolts. Found it in the manual, too. Clear as can be. Looked in wrong place. Thanks so much.
Rob,

For anyone else out there with an S Type this is one of the areas where the car can rot out through bad cleaning. Mud can sit on the top of the bump stop mount and rust it out. Also mud can sit in the scallops of the inner wig and this can rust through as well. When I had my car blasted this was an area that had rust holes and I was able to get the inner wings scallop sheets from a 420 that had been scrapped. I then cut out the scalloped area of the inner wing and welded in the new plates. It is an area you hardly see unless you take off your rear wheels on a regular basis. Even to clean is difficult with the wheels left in place so if you can every once in a while take off the rear wheels and clean the inner wing.

New question: On the front cross member there is a bolt where this mount goes. My new ones only fit over the threaded portion and does not fit flush against the cross member. My cross member was painted and the paint may be stopping it from fitting flush against the cross member. Before I clean it up and make it fit, I wanted to make sure that it is supposed to fit flush against the cross member. Am I correct?
Thanks,

When mounting the rear subframe you can come across the same problem as the rear mounts are slightly offset and again if you put them in the wrong way you cannot line the holes up with the chassis legs. We talked about this in the archive forum and here is a link to that topic. http://www.jagstyperegister.com/forum/v ... ?f=16&t=40

Re: Miss Kitty - 1965 Jaguar S-Type 3.8 RHD
there is a lot of good information in this thread that is getting lost because it is hidden in the thread and hardly anyone reads through 9 pages of thread.
As you and I found out, there are questions and replies here that I had not even seen and which contain excellent info. from Cass and others.
The Transmission Support, the Front Member mounts, etc., all those subjects deserve their own thread for everyone's benefit, but they are hidden here, not easily found. It's like looking in the South Indian Sea for MH370.
I could try to split this thread into sections and move them into their proper forums but it is a lot of work to do so since everything is so intermingled.
What I might do instead, is to post LINKS to this thread based on the subject. Let's post future questions in their designated forums for the benefit of everyone else, myself included. Thanks.
Re: Miss Kitty - 1965 Jaguar S-Type 3.8 RHD
Understand....All future posts will be in their respective threads. Why don't you delete the last six posts regarding the sandwich mount and I will repost it in the suspension section.
Thanks for getting me in line.....
