I was surprised by the no side curtains. Jack was nice enough to let me measure and get a lot of pictures from a pair he had. It was a lot of work to make them, but they look exactly like ERA supplied them.

Same with the floor mats. I found a supplier for the ERA patch and ordered some mats and put it all together.

The pictures I have from 755 were valuable in the build of 838. I will be hesitant to sell 838 as it will be tough to replace.

The ERA rear is pure sex appeal.

I think there may be an oportunity for one of us owners to design a bolt irs for the era's using a 9" center section and cc axles with outboard brakes. I have tossed around the idea of working with DSS for a package deal, axles and center section.

That would be nice, but a chore. The ERA outboard rear is a joy to work on. It's surprisingly simple, elegant and adjustable.

93-96 XJS uses an outboard braked version of the rears used in ERAs. You can see Bob’s inspiration for the ERA rear hub design in them.

That might be an option. There is currently a hub carrier on EBay.

I think the latter couple of years, 95-96, used vented rotors, as well... I am using the 95 version on my car.
