E-brake question on Jaguar rear suspension
What e-brake assembly would you use on a Jag rear with wilwood brake calipers? There is no spot to bolt on the factory e brake assembly
|
Hi xcobraj I think I just met you at ERA recently. Did you have no luck with tracking down the wilwood tag on park brakes?
|
Concours West has a bracket for using Dynalite calipers which also has the mounting tangs for the wilwood ebrakes. I had to do some filing to get the ebrakes to fit, but no big deal. You will also have to redo your cables, I used Lokar cables and made my own brackets to anchor the outer sheath. Good luck.

Carl Wade our Chief Builders says that their is an bracket factory Jag rears from donor cars. Many times they are cut away.
If its not there, a slick way to handle this and the way we do it on our Unique Replicars. We put in a Hyrdaulic line lock that sits by the driver seat. You apply the brake pedal and then engage the lock, which holds brake line pressure to the rear brakes until you release the lock. The line locks are made by Hurst. They are called "Roll Patrol" line locks. Retail $ is around 120-130$ Part # 174-500 We build Unique Cobras in Denver, Colorado |
Mickmate,I did contact Wilwood,they do not make any anything that matches up factory e-brake assembly when you use their calipers.Looks like I'm going to have to change it all back to stock
Thanks |
Thanks ColoradoCobras for the info, but I wonder if The line lock will pass Connecticuts composite inspections.It would be a lot less trouble
