any parts from the jag xjs to upgrade the E-type?

[jamie101]

hi there everyone,
it may sound like a stupid question to you lads but I was just wondering if any parts from a jaguar XJS 3.6 auto would upgrade my E-type or if anything is worth saving from it to use as spares with my E-type?
I just got this XJS in you see but its rotten underneath and all the electrics have gone down in it so shes a non runner,
on the other hand if any of you guys have an XJS if you need any bits send me a message or give me a call on 07765647562
I also have an early XJ6 on a D reg a later XJ6 on an L reg and three newer XJ8's all for spares if any one needs anything,
thanks lads, and may I say what an EXELENT bunch of lads on here VERY helpful and VERY friendly! EXELENT FORUM LADS!

Front uprights and axles/bearings can be used for fitting vented discs and brake upgrade/suspension geometry change.
You would need to talk to Derek Watson to get the steering arms etc.

Check the diff ratio by looking at the tag with two numbers. I think the 3.6 manual was 3.54 which isn't an 'upgrade' for most Es but a 3.07 or 2.88 might be. Apart from the diff and calipers and the front bits Dave mentioned, nothing else is usable on an E except a few bulbs. The XJ6s and V8s don't even share those parts unless the D reg one is the older Series 3 shape rather than XJ40 (86 was changeover year).

ok guys thank you very much for your replys,
ill have to check but im sure that me and my dad E-type already has vented disks, will this have already had an upgrade then or did some E-types have vented disks as standard?
thanks again for your help and advice,
