About the Jag rear end; is the original subframe used on the car, like ERA, or only the parts without the subframe.
I saw on this particular car that the threaded spindles on the rear wheels stuck out of the wheels like an inch or so, is this normal? All cars I saw with knock-off wheels were more or less flush.
And the last one, from what year would serial number 3073 be?
Thanks in advance, regards, John.

John,
I can't answer all your questions, but I can answer a couple. The radiator was supplied by Contemporary. If it needs replacement, any number of custom radiator houses can make one up, or some stock items from places like Summit can be used. Don't let a bad radiator scare you away of that's the case, that's easily overcome. The Jag rear doesn't use the subframe. The center section bolts directly to the mounting pad on the frame, and the lower control arm pivot points mount to the rear crossmember. Not sure about your wheel and serial number question. Hope this helps just a bit.
