LoBelly, I can confirm what Rob has said for the RMC.

Single line to the front brakes then branching to two lines at the front cross member.

There has also been some in-depth discussion regarding the front brakes over-powering the back brakes. By that I'm saying that all the braking seems to happen from the front with the back brakes doing very little. The end result is locking the front wheels without much retardation and lack of feel.

Some folks have resorted to fitting nissan front calipers which although 4 pot calipers use much smaller pistons. This allows the back brakes to contribute more to the stopping of the vehical. This is not an easy mod as the bolt centers of the nissan are different to that on the Jag uprights.

I also read somewhere ( I think from a UK source) That the fitting of the earlier Jag Calipers ( 3 piston I think) is a much easier fix.

However, hopefully some of the others using the Jag gear may post with better suggestions of a fix.

I'd like to get rid of my front calipers mainly from a weight reduction/handing aspect. The Jag front calipers sure are heavy.

Cheers
