XKE rear calipers to Wilwood??

I do not have Wilwood calipers, but I have converted my early Jag to vented 11.375" x .944" vented rotors. Not an easy task, but doable. Chas sent me pics and I copied.

What you probably want to do it work with Mickmate and put Wilwood vented rotors on the car with Wilwood calipers. It is very doable. You need a rotor adapter he can easily make and the Wilwood bracket he probably already makes. The catch is the e-brake. You will have none so you might have to put a line lock of some sort. You can put 11" disks without any problem. Bigger than about 11.5" diameter and you might have a few minor problems.

If it puts the calipers against the ERA tank, pad changes and bleeding will be problematic.

I do not have an ERA. I have plenty of room. Pads might be a small issue, but then again, at the amount of miles I drive, we are looking at 10-15 years before I have to worry about it. I will probably have to replace them from rot before wear...

I have all the parts to convert to outboard brakes. Just trying to figure out a U-joint. We will see what kind of weight issues I have. Between the T56 and the brakes, it dumped a lot on the rear of the car now.
