xke 67 caliper mounting plates??? series 1.5

[autoalain]

Folks, basket case car and all apart when bought, I see rear caliper mounting plates on ebay, do ALL xke series
one need this, I put a disk on my diff and held the caliper in place and it appears it does mount right on
the diff without the plate, am I wrong, if so I guess I will have to buy on ebay, but heck, they are very expensive, why? do they wear out?? Thanks Mike.

Hi Mike...early diffs used brackets to mount the calipers....im not sure of the change over date.....but if your calipers fit to the diff without them then that sounds of.....your either after the change over date or the diff is from a later car.....Steve
