NEW Cylinder Block Drain Tap
A beautiful new reproduction from XKs Unlimited of a part that has not been available for years. Just like an original, our drain tap is made from alloy and includes all the casting marks and “warts” of those made decades ago. We also manufacture the proper fiber washer to facilitate alignment. C2354 is used on the cylinder block of all XK-120, XK-140 and XK-150. Use in conjunction with one CO-2293/3 copper washer and CO-981 fiber washers as required for proper alignment.

NEW Upgraded Jockey Pulley
We now manufacture this part ourselves, and while we were not able to reduce the price, we increased the quality far beyond original parts. This pulley is beautifully CNC-machined and powder coated, and uses top-quality sealed bearings in place of the original un-shielded bearings that allowed water ingress and thus speedy bearing failure. Specify the best. For later 3.8 E-Type and all 4.2 Series I with the “double-groove” water pump belt. Below, not included.

Mount Kit for
XK-140 and XK-150 Fuel Tanks
The XK-140 and XK-150 fuel tanks are mounted with four square rubber
buffers, although most are long gone by now. Luckily an XK-150 in
our restoration shop yielded some still-living samples and we've had
the buffers reproduced (available separately under part number CO-8370.)
But in most cases, the studs and hardware supporting the tank are
rusted beyond re-use, so we've assembled a complete XK-140 and XK-150
fuel tank mount kit. Twenty-two pieces in all, it includes the aforementioned
rubber buffers, plus the front and rear mount studs and correct washers
and nuts. Save 10 percent off the individual list prices when you
purchase the kit.

Jaguar Specialty
Hardware
Eventually, hardware is just plain worn out! Each nut, screw and bolt
has only so many tightening cycles. The bolt-heads round over, the
slots in screws wear out, and the threads roll over and strip. We
have gathered a few of the specialty fasteners found on a lot of Jaguars.
Stop "making due" with old hardware and replace with all new.

Electronic Distributors
From Pertronix Performance Products. Replace your worn-out Lucas distributor
with a brand new electronic unit. Two versions are available: Standard

New! Sta-Dri Pouches
Protect your car's interior from rust, corrosion and mildew (and even
perhaps the formation of British Car Smell, or "BCS" to industry insiders
such as ourselves) with Sta-Dri moisture-absorbing pouches. Made from
inert, odorless and non-flammable materials, Sta-Dri pouches last
for months and can be re-generated up to three times. They exceed
tough military specifications and will not spill or stain upholstery.
Use the one-pound size for camera or gun cases, or your Jaguar's trunk.
For an E-Type or XK interior, two of the two-pound pouches will do
the trick; four will be required for larger sedans. A small investment
to protect your car from humidity and keep your car's interior looking
its best.

California Jelly Blade
We must concede to a bit of skepticism -- would this item scratch
paint? It turns our the blade is made from medical grade silicone
that's softer than just about any other drying product. This new version

a third of the time required with a sponge or squeegee.

Micro Mitt
In case you haven't noticed, synthetic microfiber has revolutionized

paint but tough enough to remove stubborn dirt.

NEW! Oil Sump Hardware Kit In addition
to 26 washers, this kit contains 25 of one setscrew and one of another.
The location of that single setscrew (the right front corner of the
sump) is important: if a longer setscrew is fitted in this location
it will contact a timing cover bolt above it and thus will not fully
tighten the sump to the block. If your sump is leaking at the right
front corner, slap your forehead now.

The Battery MINDer
Part #: 17-3569
You might call model 12248 the big brother of model 12117. It offers
some pretty amazing technology. For instance, its "soft start" feature
will analyze a drained battery to determine if it is simply discharged
or if it has one or more bad cells. If all checks out, the unit will
then automatically begin charging at the full rate, which can be set
at 2, 4 or 8 amps. In addition, it automatically compensates for variations
in temperature, meaning that a battery in Duluth in January will receive
the same, full charge as one in Death Valley in August -- safely.
Its sophisticated software ensures that the new generation of gel
and AGM batteries such as the Optima brand will receive a full charge.
This unit can charge and maintain up to six batteries at a time. Highly
recommended. Endorsed by the two leading manufacturers of batteries
for aircraft.

NEW I.R.S. Fulcrum Rebuild Kits
Jaguar's independent rear suspension system was an excellent design,
but its complexity makes ordering rebuild parts a bit tedious. Our
new inner and outer fulcrum rebuild kits, however, give you everything
you'll need under just two part numbers. The "early" inner kit fits
all 3.8 E-Types with 1.75" bearing tubes (up to OTS 879131 and FHC
888326); the "late" inner kit fits all E-Types thereafter plus Series
I, II and III XJ-6/XJ-12 and all XJ-S. The outer kit fits all E-Types,
Series I, II and III XJ-6/XJ-12 and XJ-S with inboard rear brakes.
One kit required for each side. Kits include all normally required
bearings, seals, spacers and shims.

XKs Unlimited Appointed Authorized Distributor
for Rebuilt ZF Transmissions
XKs Unlimited has
just been appointed an authorized distributor for rebuilt ZF transmissions.
ZF has been the OE transmission supplier to Jaguar (and many other
brands) since the late eighties and supplies the CVT automatic transmission
as used in the current MINI. So should your Jaguar or MINI require
a rebuilt transmission, XKs will have in stock the same units supplied
by dealers but at a fraction of the price. Available from stock for
same-day shipping or immediate drop-shipment from ZF, XKs Unlimited
can now supply rebuilt automatic transmissions for most XJ8 and XK8
Jaguars.
These are the exact, fully-warranted, transmissions sold by Jaguar
dealers, but XKs Unlimited sells them for hundreds less. Any unit
not in stock can be drop-shipped from ZF immediately.
Please call our sales
staff today to discuss your needs. |

NEW V8 Cam Cover Gasket Kits
We're
seeing a steady stream of V-8 cars in our shop these days, and leaking
cam cover gaskets is a fairly common problem. In the worst cases,
oil will leak past the spark plug seals and cause a misfire, so this
is excellent preventive maintenance easily handled by most owners.
"First Type" cars have one-piece "siamesed" spark plug seals (one
piece seals two plugs) and cover XJ8 and XK8 up to engine 9810290000;
"second type" applications have separate seals for each spark plug
and are from engine 9810190001. Couple one of these kits with our
on-plug coil boot kits for the ultimate in preventive maintenance.

NEW Sophisticated New Technology from BatteryMINDer®
Part #: 17-3567
New technology has come to battery maintenance devices in the form
of our new BatteryMINDer. It is a three-mode charger/maintainer/conditioner
that extends the performance and life of all types and sizes of lead-acid
batteries. Perhaps the most noteworthy new feature is its ability
to dissolve harmful power-robbing sulphation (the number-one cause
of early battery failure) using safe, patented high-frequency pulse
technology. Guaranteed to never over-charge a battery, regardless
of how long it's connected. Charges at 1.3 amps so its best use is
the maintenance of healthy batteries and the prevention and removal
of sulphation. BatteryMINDer is endorsed by the two leading manufacturers
of aircraft batteries.

cool it looks. Fits XK-150, all six-cylinder E-Types, MK II and all
early sedans.

Tour With Confidence — Carry An Emergency Kit
We've found that more and more XK and E-Type owners are getting their
cars out of the garage and actually driving them. Hallelujah. For those
folks we've put together emergency kits of distributor cap, points,
condenser, rotor, belt(s), fuses, radiator cap and a complete hose kit
(not XK-150, where the belt and hose combinations are simply too complex).
Drive with peace of mind this summer and fall! Kits include distributor
cap, points, rotor and condenser, cooling hose kit (except where noted),
radiator cap, belt(s) and all fuses.

Starter Mount Plate
Part #: CO-22488
We used to buy these from Jaguar but they were extremely expensive,
available only sporadically and somewhere along the way the factory
decided that drilling the holes was no longer required. So, we made
our own and neatly cured all three problems. For most six-cylinder
applications.

NEW Norman Dewis of Jaguar – Developing the Legend, by Paul Skilleter with Norman Dewis
“Legendary” is a description that has long been applied to Norman Dewis, famed in Jaguar circles for his 33-year career as the company’s chief development test driver. Between 1952 and 1985, Norman had many adventures - not the least accompanying Stirling Moss on the 1952 Mille Miglia in a C-type, achieving 172mph in an XK 120 in Belgium in 1953, dashing to Geneva with the brand new E-type in 1961, and his spectacular 130mph crash in the XJ13 prototype ten years later!
In all, Norman carried out the development testing of 25 different Jaguars, so this book provides a unique, behind-the-scenes account of how cars such as the Mk VII, XK 120, XK 140, XK 150, ‘Mk 1’, Mk 2, E-type, Mk X and XJ6 were developed. Jaguar’s race cars also fell into Norman’s domain, and he spent thousands of hours at over 100mph in the C- and D-types which went on to win Le Mans. He himself competed in the dramatic 1955 event. Norman was also Jaguar’s key man in the development of the first practical disc brake – something we take for granted these days, but which was very new in the early 1950s. Augmenting Norman’s vivid personal accounts is much technical material drawn from his extensive vehicle proving files, plus nearly 1,000 photographs and illustrations, many in color. This large format, hardbound book runs to 576 pages and is beautifully designed and produced. It is written by Paul Skilleter who has known Norman for over 40 years.
