In the process of learning about my newly acquired 1969 Series 2 XKE Roadster I've discovered something rather "unusual" about the motif bar that is mounted in the front of my car. Since my car came to me without the motif mounted inside this bar I figured I would make an easy installation of one that I purchased from Terry's Jaguar. However when I tried I discovered that it simply would not fit. Specifically it was a little too wide and way too short. (?)
I've verified that this is the correct oval shape and size for my car and that it fits correctly in the aftermarket motif bars sold by both Terry's Jaguar and XKs Unlimited.
So....what the heck kind of motif bar do I have mounted on my car?????? It sure looks exactly like all the others but that opening is clearly the wrong size.
I'm attaching a picture that illustrates the mismatch..
If there is anyone on this forum that might have a clue to help me (a) solve this mystery and/or (b) know where to get a motif that fits it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
