Custom Jaguar V12 Throttle Bushings
It has been a while! The usual, other priorities forced me to focus on other activities. I was so pleased to work on the XJS yesterday. Even though it was only a 10 min job. But one I liked very much. Again the inspiration was provided by "living with a classic" - the Swedish Jag enthusiast.
Watch this video episode to see what I'm talking about:

When I checked mine I was shocked to see they were complete gone on both sides. I can't believe I did not spot this before:
So I reached out to Jonas Loda:via jag.improver@gmail.com to order a set. Turned out I had been in touch with him before as he's the guy who made the new radiator banjo bolt:
Unfortunately sold out now but maybe there is a new batch upcoming.
Check out this website for many other usefull parts: https://foreverxjs.com/xj-s-parts (it does list some of the other parts created by Jonas).
In any case, I had these parts at my home for some weeks now. And yesterday I fitted them. A bit of a fiddle job but it was an easy and quick job. So happy with this improvement. Unfortunately I was not able to test it as the car did not wanted to start up. After a few cranks the battery died ... sigh.
At least hereby the photo's:
