Anyone know where I can find the over the headlight teardrop shaped accents for a 57 mk1??? I only need 1 and this cat is complete!!!

 

I have a few sites about classical jags

www.britishparts.com

www.jagbits.com

www.ebay.com

 

Do you mean something like this:
SNG Barratt - USA | Parts | Side Lamp Tell Tale Red Lens

It's for a Mk2 - don't know if the Mk1 had the same.

 

I got the ball joints on sale from XKs Unlimitied , will probably get tie rods there too! They have been extremely helpful on my Jags. Shocks, I got Konis on-line.

 

check with Bassett Jaguar too, XK's Unlimited will eat you with high shipping costs, box charge, and their parts quality is questionable. ask me how I know. And if you have a problem with any part, they will not refund your return shipping expenses or even have any courtesy in sending you a replacement until they receive the bad part they shipped to you. Stick with SNG Barratt, much better prices and service, otherwise check Bassett link below:

All I can say is best of luck as you won't ever find an original one. However there are reproduction ones out there. They are generally cast acrylic and tend to go a bit yellow as they age.

The chrome accent is available at SNG, XKs , Welschent, etc. Lots used on Hemmings.
