Have you ever spent half the day looking for something that you JUST HAD IN YOUR HAND YESTERDAY???? I did that today. Yesterday I found a bracket that goes under the bonnet. I wasn't quite ready to install it at that time so I put it somewhere so I would know where it was when I needed to install it. Yeah, I spent most of the afternoon looking for it today. I couldn't find it so I just finally gave up and started on something else. Remember that B-Post seal I spent so much time describing the other day? I couldn't figure out why I had 2 extra seals. I called BAS, the people that make premium Jaguar interiors and from whom I happened to have bought my interior and rubber body seal kit. The guy there didn't know where the other 2 seals went either. I spent quite a while looking at pictured of restorations on a number of websites.. I finally discovered where they went and also discovered that the ones I had installed in the B-Post were in backwards. So I proceeded to remove them and re-install them correctly. I fixed the one on the driver's side, then got a phone call.. and then fixed the one on the passenger side.. or so I thought. Turns out, I reversed the driver's side seal twice and didn't touch the passenger side one. So in essence, nothing changed and I had to do it all over again. The two other seals go on the back side of the window frame... in case you were wondering.
I got that project finished and went back to the bonnet for one last look for the bracket. I looked down and there it was... inside of the area behind where the headlight goes. I'll install it tomorrow... if I can find it again.
