(Dangerous Dan asks about a magazine called "E-Type Jag")
There is or was a magazine called E-Jag that was published by some
owner's club. A perusal in the club listing in the back of R&T might
net you the name of the club.
(Dangerous Dan complains about bleeding rear E-Type brakes)
Those access plates that you talk about only exist in SIII roadsters, and
all 2+2's. Every other E-type has the same rear brake arrangement, just
without the access plates. Count your blessings. On many cars the only
way to bleed the rear brakes is with a wrench that you have specially bent
to the right shape with a torch. No kidding.
No, bleeding brakes in an E-type is not really a horrible job. Replacing
those little handbrake brake pads, now that's kind of a bad job. To do it,
you have to remove and disassemble the rear suspension.
