Ventilator Boxes

Because the compartiment inside the Jaguar can get very hot during long drives in the summer, they created the possibility to bring fresh air into the car via the so called ventilator box. In the front wing a small rectangular shaped recess door has been created which can be opened/closed from the inside of the car. In open position the air is forced to go into the car. A metal filter will prevent small objects like bugs or stones will reach the compartment.

Water pump

The water pump, in this photo located between fan and front part of the engine, will be restored completely. The cooling capacity of these cars is not very over engineered so to keep the engine cool the water pomp need to be in top condition.

My first idea was to reuse the impeller, originally they have 4 blades, but removing them is a difficult job. Because the impeller is made of cast-iron and pressed unto the bearing axle it is almost impossible to remove them with breaking. Secondly I could not find the correct water sealing ring.

So I decided to buy a water pomp repair kit (SBS7272) with:

  • 6 blade impeller (they have a smaller inside diameter)
  • Bearing (one side has a smaller axle to receive the impeller)
  • Water sealing ring
  • Gasket

After the impeller and carrier for the pulley are pressed onto the bearing axle the water pump can be mounted onto the front side of the engine.

The original windscreen motor

After inspecting the wiper motor, located inside the left front wing, came to the following conclusion:

  • The paint of the main housing is still in decent condition and therefor I decided to do a simple touch-up.
  • The mounting bracket and motor brushes are replaced by new ones.
  • I decided to keep the Lucas tag original.
  • All wiring needs to be replaced by new silicone rubber type wiring.
    (The isolation material on the internal wiring was completely gone!)
  • All other parts just need to be cleaned thoroughly
    (Especially the outside and the inside of gears housing)

All parts needed to rebuild the windscreen motor

As seen on the last photo two windscreen wipers can be connected and will be set in motion by the gears, located behind  polished  lid. The cable in the parts overview will be pushed and pulled back and forth to get the wiper arms in movement. This engine has 5 electrical connections as shown in the schematic below
