Peter Egan, the famous automotive journalist (and many time E-Type owner), once described the E-Type's rear end as follows:
"If you've never seen an exploded drawing of a Jaguar rear end, try to imagine an aerial depiction of China in which each person represents a shim, gasket, stud, locknut, spacer, spider gear, or bearing. Then imagine yourself, directors megaphone in hand, trying to organize
them all into some sort of differential folk dance. The shims alone defied census."
Bob continues: For the second time in my life I tackled one. I expected it to be easier this time--it wasn't. However, lash was successfully set, shims where carefully measured and installed, lockwire was twisted and brake lines bent.

Beautiful piece! It would make a wonderful coffee table too. I see you've found a new use for socks.
