Hi -

Series III 86

The rubber/foam gaskets on my rear lights need replacing. There is one that is between body and light frame and one between the plastic lens and the light frame. I searched the forum with little luck and scanned through several of the usual parts houses. Does anyone have the proper Jag part numbers and a possible lead on locating? The only things I could find are:

18-0100 for the lens to frame gasket, but search on that part number yielded little

AEU1341,2,3,and 4 - Related to the rear light assembly and one of those might have been also the lens to frame gasket. In all of the parts pix the frame to body gasket never even had a ref number except one that said NSS.

Thanks all. I have to believe a simple perishable part like this has to be easily available?

For part numbers you can use Jaguar's E-catalog

As to your present needs, the gaskets were never available separately, as this illustration shows

is this a Series 3 and are you looking for the Tail light strips or the Side Marker foam gaskets?

​​​​​​for the tail light STRIPS, you can use window screen beading sold at LOWE'S.

for the side marker gaskets you can cut your own using foam sheets sold at craft stores like Michael's or Joann Fabrics.

go to my website at Jag Upgrades Home and you can see the window screen beading tip.

 

DD - thanks for the info especially the parts link. That is one I had not yet discovered. And NSS obviously means Not Sold Separately 😊

Jose - that was my plan B and will certainly check your store. I also have a todo to buy your rear valence drain plug covers

Thanks!!

 

I can send you everything you need with the tank plugs.
I cut the foam gaskets for my '65 S type because I wasn't going to pay $14.00 per gasket when a sheet of foam is $1.75 and it comes in black, white, yellow, red, but no pink ! The foam sheets come in 1/8" and 1/4" thick. The beading for the tail lenses you can have free for the shipping cost to AU.

 

Hello,

While I do not have any help for you with that info. However, I was having the same issue as you only for my 1976 Jaguar xj6L.
Luckily I was able to produce a design that is pretty accurate and 3d print it out of TPU material which is pretty flexible. You could
Check into something like that for your series possibly. I for sure am not a design expert, and my husband says I've bit off to much trying to repair my car myself.
However, I couldn't find anyone around here to work on it, and this ole girl wants her car driving again.

Just my first go at 76xj6 reverse light bezel gasket out of TPU 95A on a 3d printer.

Thank you.
