Well, Jennifer's Jag is back down on the ground with a new SS exhaust system. The timing is set at 8* BTDC and the idle is at ~750, on a test drive without the bonnet it ran well and the new brakes seemed to work well. One thing though, the horn didn't work so back to the garage to sort that out.
This afternoon I started by checking by looking at the simplest things first, fuses, horn switch, wiring and last the relay. Well, the relay had bitten the dust at ONLY 51 years! You'd have thought that Lucas could have done better than that! D__n Lucas parts!
After replacing the Lucas crap with a new Bosch parts I sure the horns will be working well into next week!*

| Here she is sans bonnet but ready to roll, except that the old rubber gas hose to the carbs was brittle with age and cracked-easily replaced. |

| Lucas relay, the Bosch relay would probably fit inside this one so if someone wanted to keep a stock appearance this might be the way to go. |
If everything goes well tomorrow I might be able to get the bonnet back on, I would like to test drive the car for a few miles to make sure every thing is sorted for Jennifer.
Cheers,
Lynn
