So I attempted to change my fuel pump last week. I did not complete the job. I damaged the new replacement pump while attempting to remove it from the XJ6 bracket to mount in the Lagonda bracket. :- ...

Steve and Freddi,

Yes, I can make copies of the template I got from RRV363. I'll need to get a large piece of paper, and that may be delayed as I'm in the SF bay area, and they've just decreed we ...

Well, it only took me 18 months (sigh) but I finally got off my ass and started working on the Lagonda again. First thing was to make the new floor for the trunk. Using the template I received from ...

Sigh, after I got the fuel pump, my life got busy, and I've just let the Lagonda sit in it's safe, covered storage area. Sad

However, 3 days ago I retrieved my car and I'm doing some work on it aga ...

I looked up betonplex, and it sounds a lot like what we in the USA call MDO, Medium Density Overlay:

Thanks Steve! I'm looking forward to getting the CRTs and boards out in 2 or so weeks when I have time to work on my car again.

I'd invite you to come visit our air museum, except you're about as ...

Thanks Steve for the comments and links to the pictures.

I'm also touched by how many people have warned me to discharg the CRTs before touching them. Smile

Sorry for the delay, I was at the Reno Air Races for 5 days, and extremely busy with the planes our museum brought (CAF Southern California Wing, we brought a PBJ (the Marine version of the B-25 bombe ...

Of the 3 CRTs in my car, only the right one (tachometer) works well. The middle one sometimes displays what it should, but usually doesn't. And the left one (speedometer) only shows a light overscan ...

I just ordered a series 2 XJ6 fuel pump from ebay. I choose the right hand tank version. I'll respond to this thread in a month or so once I receive the pump, and then find time to do the replacemen ...

Thanks for the clarification David.

You are a veritable fount of knowledge about Lagondas, and we all owe you a big thanks for all your help!

Oh, and I mailed Richard Vaughan about missing pictures of 13441. Though there are a bunch of pictures taken by the guy who sold it to me, available here:

Thanks everyone for your input. Yes, this is a 1085 carbureted car, with beautiful (partially working) CRTs. I'll get to the CRTs soon.

I'm looking into the Series 2 Xj6 or XJS pumps.

I'm pret ...

Fair enough. I've been so busy at work today I forgot to call the dealer, so he's still waiting for my reply. It's the start of a 3 day weekend here in the States, so I'll give it a few more days.

Sigh, nobody has any suggestions, eh?

I guess I need to take one for the team, order the pump from Aston-Martin, and have the mechanic save the old pump for me. Then I'll attempt to match it to a ...
