Exclamation Outboard brakes!

The 94-96 XJS, and some other models, used the same basic Jag rear configuration, but used outboard brakes. This is what I used on my Unique Motorcars 289 USRRC. There are a couple of important differences between the two: the outboard u-joint mates two different size yokes, as the stub axle is different, and the lower control arm pivot bolt on the bottom of the hub carrier is slightly smaller diameter on the newer unit.

Here are a couple of pics of mine. I made a jig to be able to move it easily, otherwise it is a bit gangly without the frame around it!
