I'm looking for a used part no one carries or reproduces. Checked with XKs, Welsh, SNGB. It's the Remote Control Cable for the Trip Mileage Meter on a '66 E-Type (Part # C15468). If available, also need Escutcheon Ring (Part #8409)

Any leads and/or suggestions on this, or other used parts sources for old Jags/E-Types, are welcome.

I stand corrected, Steve -- a serious breach of automotive etiquette. But seriously..."NoObtainium" was the technical term given me by XKs when I called them about the cable. You're right...I should have known better and translated to the proper technical term, "unobtainium," in my note. Also, thanks for the added info about Stefan -- sounds like Daniel's "secret source" is out of the bag! I just hope he has the part.

I was going to give you Stefan's name and email too, but Daniel beat me to it. I've bought many parts from Stefan. Very fair and honest, good prices, and a gentleman to deal with. (NAYYY, just a satisfied customer) If you need his phone number, email me off-list.

By the way, its "unobtainium" not "noobtainium." Get your technical terms right.

Send an email to Stephan Roundy (I think he's in Virginia) at stefanratbealenet.com

He is one the leading suppliers of good, clean used Jag parts in the USA (keep it quiet!)
