Default Brake Specifications / Reference Material

After jumping through a number of hoops to get my CCX into Canada I have one more left - a provincial safety. This is a relatively straight forward process but I require some assistance in determining the original brake specifications. A key part of the safety is to measure the brake pad and rotor thickness and contrast against the original "as new" thickness spec. Determining exactly what parts are on my car has given me some difficulty and I'm hoping someone can advise what is typically found on a CCX assembled in 1993.

From my research I noted it was typical of Contemporary to offer an upgraded brake package which included Wilwood Superlites w/ XJ vented rotors. Up front I definitely have Wilwood Superlites and am assuming I have XJ vented rotors? They are vented, roughly 1" thick and approx 10" in diameter. I'd love if someone could provide the likely original specification for these rotors and ideally the brake pads used.

On the rear are Wilwoods as well and the rotors are roughly 0.5" thick and 10" diameter. Here again I'd be grateful if someone could provide the likely original specification on the rotor and pads.

As the car only has 6,000 miles on it I'm certain that the brakes and rotors are as from factory Contemporary.

Also, I noted that the Contemporary Chassis & Accessory manuals do not address the brakes in any great detail. "The Complete Official Jaguar "E" Repair Manual" is however referenced and recommended. Can anyone advise if this a requisite manual for the Cobra owners book shelf? Are there others or better references? Of course I realize I won't find any Wilwood info in there but at least the original Jag brakes/rotor info would be referenced.

Thanks in advance for any assistance provided.
