Just doodling, and was wondering whether a hook on the catch would make it more convenient to remove the hard top (thereby avoiding the squeeze into the back of the car to undo the two bolts).

🔍Keith ThomasMemberThanks for the source of new bolts….
You’re right — the rust stains left by removing the soft-top bracket do look bad….I was thinking of getting a piece of fabric to match the interior upholstery (blue in my case) and velcro-dot’ing it over the top….could even get a matching bit of leather / vinyl.

Keith ThomasMemberYou undoubtedly already know this, but being a bit of a tech dinosaur I have only just found out — you can buy a cassette / Bluetooth adaptor which will allow you to play digital (MP3 ?) music thru the cassette player…..if your cassette player is still working.
Keith ThomasMemberThe Jaguar XJS Handbook lists the XJ-SC fuel capacity as 81.8ltrs / 18 gals (as opposed to the XJS 90.1ltrs / 20 gals) but I definitely have 60ltrs from running dry at the side of the road to brim full……is the fuel pick-up dangling in the tank ?! Is it possible my pick-up is dangling only 2/3 way in the tank ?
Anyone got a spare working fuel gauge float assembly ?!

I am not quite sure where that would be on a car hood….plus there is the doubt over whether the hood has gone black because it’s wet or because…. it’s gone black ! The cleaning product is colourless/white so I guess it has removed the blue…at least temporarily….still have fingers crossed that it ‘fades’ to blue (perhaps on imminent trip to France, if the sun is shining there). A photo now would just be of…a black hood.
As a matter of interest, can XJ-SC tops be re-covered ? Where ?

Keith ThomasMemberWilco….’fraid Brian B’s hard top sold in about 10 seconds flat…while I was still reaching for my wallet !
