#1 New brakes required.

Post by Marcusj1000 » Tue Jul 01, 2014 12:36 pm

Hi All,

I am going to replace the front calipers and mastercylinder on my 74 v12 E-type.

I have found the calipers I need at SNG barrat however they also state that they will fit the XJ6 S2. A very quick search online shows that I can purchase these considerably cheaper elsewhere. I found them well priced at www.onlineautomotive.co.uk part number BC1026R.

Can anyone confirm that these will actually fit my Jag? Does anyone know anywhere that can do a better deal for me?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Marcus.
74 v12 2+2

The 3.5 inch fitment is the same but the pistons changed at some point (they went up in size) but I 'think' it was during S2 production. Yoou can get cheap 4 piston calipers off a V12 or Series 3 XJ too IIRC but they are very heavy.
