Do you know of anyone over here that has fitted those Cooper billet calipers?

You have caught my interest on these.

Yep, Me and I'm told many Jaguar restorers have used then.

Back a few years using adaptor brackets was frowned upon and as mentioned in past postings here on CC, authorities insisted that calipers be fitted with seals.

Coopers are a very helpful company when I dealt with them both by phone and email. They have been around for an age and there is a heap of info on their web site. Heaps of recent date testimonials can be found here:

I've not kept up with import regs but back a ways it was worth importing one caliper at a time to save on customs duties.

I would advise if you are looking for a Alloy caliper (lighter than the cast iron units, corrosion resistant(alloy and stainless), acceptable by authorities(fitted with seals and in-distinguishable from etype calipers), ready to bolt on to Jaguar XJ6 front uprights then Coopers is a brand worth consideration.

If you ask me am I happy with mine .... the answer is yes. Although I do believe that Coopers could mill more alloy from the billet to make a lighter unit but they claim their priority is to prevent flex across the caliper. The Cooper caliper is a substantial lump of milled alloy (about the same size of the cast iron units).

Mine just bolted up using the standard jaguar bolts and shims and cleared all the necessary front end bits and pieces.
