Here is a picture that show how I did mine. that doesnt make it the right way to do it. I just wanted a clean looking intallation so I routed the wires to hide them. I used Shrink tube over the front feed line to attach the swithed ground wire under it. I have a difficult time finding info onthis subject which is one of the reasons I just went in my own direction.

Moss Motors catalog has a good exploded view of the thermo setup but i don't know if all the parts are available. The Haynes SU book has a section on it also. A lot of Jaguars had them on so you could try their specialists. Also you could see if Southern Carburettors in England has anything. The only thing on them i could see as being car specific is the spring acting on the tapered needle and there seems to be 5 different ones of those. That was a nice picture from KevinR. Regards, BUNDYRUM.

Hi Adamb, Check with David Manners, Burlen fuel systems or Barrats over there as the early Jaguar Saloons used this same component.- /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif---Keoke

OH I almost forgot if you are looking for a good used one contact a well known UK Jaguar Breaker by the name of "Chris Morris"
