    David,
    If you can get the calipers free the rotors are easy. They are also captured at the bottom by the rear control arm if I remember correctly so you may need to remove that as well.

    Richard,
    Greenstuff pads that fit Unique brakes are p/n DP2101. You can download a .pdf from EBC of all their part numbers for Jag that will let you cross reference DP2101 against their Yellowstuff...

    Jim,
    Not sure where you are greasing, but you may want to know that Unique replaces the bearing sets in the Jag rear ends with nylon bushings that do not need the same grease amount that the needle...

    Dave,
    Jaguar used a very simple Dana 44 based center section IRS in cars from the early XKE to the XJS. I can't tell you all the subtleties but there are differences to the diff casing and brake...

    David,
    The Kirby Palm book is a free download from the link I told you about. I don't think there is a need for a Haynes manual, everything we ever needed on the Jag rear could be found via net...

    David,
    Pulling the rear calipers on these cars is a chore with the body OFF. If you know exactly where the bolts are and can navigate a Jag rear end by feel, they you may have a shot. As much work...

    Dick,
    I replaced the rear pads on our car with EBC greenstuff. EBC makes 3 different compounds for street to full race that fit Jag calipers. They have a break in compound on the first few...

    Splitting Hairs (again)

    Just an FYI on MGB sway bars, although they are often finished they are generally not powder coated. There are rubber bushings in the end-links that would not survive well in the oven. The bars I...

    David,
    To reiterate something I said once before, these cars are one-off and there is truly no single correct answer. Your most important research tool is your own ability to gather facts and...

    David,
    You can get a SPAL fan for about $75 or so for the slimline one, they go up from there depending on CFM. Without re-engineering your sway bar and/or radiator bracket you will be stuck with...

    David,
    The rear end is Jaguar from the XJ6, and it is similar to the XKE. You can search on-line, there are lots of sites detailing rear end service. You can also find Jag maintanance manuals at...

    There should be a pad on each side of the e-brake caliper. If you are having to 'adjust' the e-brake calipers then you have an installation or equipment issue. Jag e-brakes are self indexing and,...

    You may want to know that the posts on your lift are extruded too... No worry though, extrusion does not mean compromised strength. Since the post is in compression that's the part of the...

    Jim,
    The extra dollar is for the rubber band to hold all four bezels together in the envelope.

    Phil,
    The stripes are 6" wide at the center of the car. The short answer to your question is that in the original Cobras some stripes flared at the ends and some did not. There is no true correct...
