Default Has anyone had their Jaguar calipers rebuilt?

I finally got the rear calipers off my Jag rear. Tip: It really helps if you take the service manual off the shelf and read it!
Anyway, I'd like to have the calipers rebuilt since it's such a hassle getting them back out if needed. Can anyone recommend a place to get the work done? Anyone have an idea of the cost involved? I'm so overwhelmed working on this car alone, and have so much to do, that I just don't have the time to rebuild them myself. Any information on a good caliper rebuild facility is appreciated. Thanks!
Doug

I bought a set of Jagaur calipers on ebay (fronts) for $100!! Check on ebay it may be cheaper than rebuilding

Default Jag Caliper Rebuild

Doug,
I would think you may have some Cobra people in your area that would be willing to help you with the rebuild. If not, I would suggest you try to find a Jag shop in the area that would perform the work for you.

Doug,

I think SNG has a guy in house? If not there is Donovan Motorcars in Lennox MA. They specialize in Jaguar performance/racing.

No more cell phone Doug, I can be reached at home.
