Engine Bay Overhaul

A friend and I started stripping down the jag for her first major restoration.In the process, we only lost 1 piece (one of those air rail feet) and snapped only 1 bolt (right exhaust shield rear bolt). The air rail foot will have to be found... it has to be somewhere in the garage.

We discovered disconnected sensors, missing thermostats and a lot of loose wiring.

Hopefully some of you will be able to help me identify a few pieces.



On the left, I've laid out a set of wires. It is one wire, that splits into two. Each fork has 1+2 wires. The only one which was connected was the shorter fork, single 1 wire to the throttle pedestal. Where do the other wires go?


On the driver's side (LHD) of the car there is a opening in the bulkhead which had a small rubber sock like thing. It was removed because it had a big crack in it. What is it meant for? What is it called? Where do I get a replacement?
