3.8 grab bar bracket fitting?
On only the early 3.8's (I think the change was made in mid '62) the chrome "L" bracket is screwed to the metal "A" post. The covered dog-leg panel goes on top with a small cut for the bracket to stick out. The handle sits on top of that bracket and bolted to it.
Does anyone know the car number when the change took place?
Phil.
The only SPB that Jaguar issued,P.84, concerning the grab handle lists the change occuring at 879343 & 888567. I sent Peter a message that I have pictures coming of the early grab handle that I will send to him.
