Hi all. I'm a new member in search help for my Mark 5's front and back bumpers connections. My 5 I purchased with the bumpers and trim removed and rechromed. Great! I have the front and rear brackets, 8 fine bumper components, and not much to connect them to the brackets.
I'm in the market for those middle links/plates if available. Or if not pictures which would permit me to make these links.
I can email pictures of what I have ready to go on and the car.
Any help greatly appreciated. bob

SNG Barratt - The Ultimate Jaguar Parts Specialist

 

Hi and thank you Fraser. The SNG Barrett Mk 5 catalog lists the necessary parts in its online catalog. Given some nomenclature, now I can seek these parts with more appropriate terminology. These parts from them are "not available on line." A call-us alternative also is listed.

 

The Mark V was a stop-gap model and only made for two years. This was because whilst the XK engine and new chassis, (as used by the XK120) was ready, the body shell for the new 100mph saloon wasn't. So William Lyons decided to make a traditional style saloon on the new chassis, but used the old engine.

So with so few cars made, anything specific to the Mark V is something of a rarity nowadays. Of course the car shares its chassis with the XK120, so commonality of parts is there, as it is with the engine which is essentially the pre-war engine. Jaguar bought the tooling from Standard who made the engines for jaguar before WW2. However the parts to fit up your bumper are hardly leading edge stuff, so if you can get the dimensions they are easily remade.
