Thanks, on your pictured battery box have you chromed the raised fan shroud cover that is nice and shiny?
Yes. It was done by previous owner back in the 90’s. The whole battery box had been chromed but it was badly pitted and beyond saving other than the chrome on the fan shroud. Have to be honest thermal dynamic properties is a bit of a weak spot for me. Obviously in bright light heat absorbsion is less in bright colours. Probably over thinking this but with the bonnet shut and obviously dark, heat will be infrared so not sure if a shiny surface would make any difference?Best bet would be to fit the battery in the boot. As no massive engine heat there.

Lister removed the rear numberplate surround, but i have tracked one down and will black it in colour, and then refit like Jaguar would have done it originally,
There is another bit of trim that fits around the number plate. A series 2 version allows a deeper number plate. A series 3 version completely borders a regular sized number plateJag53c said:
Looking back In the April/May 2010 Jaguar Enthusiast Club magazine I found an old article on a very cool unassuming Lister XJS which had this anti tramp kit fitted to the rear IRS.
It’s interesting and intriguing reading the spec. Heavy duty suspension mounts? Are they the 4 holding the rear axle to the chassis? The anti tramp kit in my eyes could easily be simplified. Also if a rear anti roll bar is fitted that starts to work as an anti tramp bar. For some reason the car was missing a boot floor to cover the spare wheel. So have recently purchased this which I can template the plywood from if necessary. To be honest its only really the foam thats seen better days everything else is salvageable. I am sure that I already have the second piece that covers the fuel pump, electric aerial, boot threshold etc in storage.

The bit that fits around the electric aerial is just a bit of card like material attached to that bottom piece you have in the picture Edited by Jag53c on Tuesday 3rd December 19:59
