Hi Frank

Did you get any interest in these Targa Panels ?

Hi John,

Thanks for putting together such an informative Album about your Cabriolet.

I do like the fact that you say your aim is keeping the changes in period and tasteful, and from your descriptions and pictures I’d say you are doing that well.

Hi Dave

I’d agree with you regarding once the fuel pump was running and everything pressurised, as having had a fuel pipe split in the boot of my XJS, I can indeed confirm that you’d soon notice – a very large amount of fuel came out very quickly !!

Hi Clas

I’m not sure if you received any answers to your question, as there has been some recent technical issues with the Club’s website (see separate discussion topic).

It is my understanding that you can indeed exchange the American bumper for the European, and vice versa – this being done when folks have imported cars in the past into Europe from America.

Cheers,

Laurence

Hi @geoffconnor

The Targa roof is in two sections, one over the drive and one over the passenger. There is a leaver on each targa panel, which you pull down and turn (this unlocks the targa panel). You need to remove the targa panels in the right order, as one overlaps the other.

Hi Colin,

I think this discussion thread is a great idea.

I’ve sketched out a draft instruction guide in our Articles area – New Targa rubbers replacement but it is strictly a work in progress guide. It will need to be updated with exactly the feedback that you’ve suggested is recorded here in this discussion thread – practical hands on answers from members who have undertaken his job.

Thanks,

Laurence
