Thanks for any help in advance. I have a 1971 xj6 donor car and want to save as much as I can for my xj6c. My question is the windshield and the back windo the same as my xj6c? Also any other parts worth grabbing to save?

 

I've no idea. But, three of suggestions.


1. Careful measurements of each to compare. That might include a profile transfer device.


2. A local glass house that does auto glass might have a catalog that
goes that far back.


3. The maker, Libby, Owens Ford, for example might be reached and their tech advice sought.


General:


If any doubt, keep the part. You may never need it. But, the corollary
is well known!!!

The parts book only gives one set of numbers for series2. You can have laminated clear, tinted or tinted shaded for the windscreen. The rear glass can be plain, tinted heated, or heated plain. So, I guess the saloon and coupe take the same screens.

 

The XjC was only made in Series 2 configuration. It might be possible to fit the front and rear, but I very much doubt it.

Then again, where there's a will there's a way.

If you have the space then save what you think you'll ever possibly need, because once it's gone, well you know the rest.

The parts numbers are the same in the respective parts manuals—I've just looked. So yes, the screens, front and back, are interchangeable between S1 and S2. So, happy salvage!

That's very interesting Andrew as looking at the two I would have thought a difference......in saying that I have seen rubbers for sale that fit both...or so they say.

 

Thanks Andrew and everyone who has replied. I didn't want to pay someone to remove them if I couldn't use it

 

Live and learn!
Thank you, Andrew, I'll remember that!

Yup, write it down and out it away, never to be found when needed???


I've binders full of Jag lore!!! Sadly, sorely in need of organization.


A decade or so ago, a co worker wrote a book on "Insurance Claims".
I contributed a chapter or two. In turn, he taught me how to create
an index, "line by line".


Will I seek to revive that "skill" in a simpler fashion? The idea is percolating. But, then, I ask myself, a favorite question, "And then what". No satisfactory answer, yet.


A year or two ago, I created a "Table of Contents" for the four short file cabinets in this work room. Have I used it, guess ???


And, another for the vinyl records stored in Mom's Grafanola!!!
Because of it's steel needle, I dare not play them.


I do have a "modern" turn table, unused, though???


In the shop, I've two stacks of "totes". One stack of good Jaguar stuff left over from the "lump" exercise. The other, a combo of left over GM stuff and Jaguar stuff that still "fits". Each needs a "spring cleaning".
If I've not used stuff in over a decade, it oughta go, or should it????


Not to forget, a couple of parts in my shed. A promised, but unclaimed good 4.2 starter and a clean AVCM. The latter very important for a proper running 4.2!!!


Hot around here yesterday, must've been a "pistol" up Elinor's
way!!!

PS:


This "office/work room" needs sorting and tossing of old stuff. I've more
cables than any man could ever need and other computer stuff, extra monitor, key boards, mice, external drives, etc....


Next:


Chop up the VIZIO box for the recycle can....
Old dark VIZIO, destination to be determined.


Shop:


1. Rehousing "battery maintainer" project almost done.
2. Figure out "order of assembly of parts" for out board light swap.
Three of four "layers", done. fourth, ???
