Here I go again! Jag suspension
 
I have started and stopped several times due to health problems over the last few years...literally both hips and both knees replaced and a divorce thrown in for good measure! I have scratched built a chassis for a B&B body which I bought 9 years ago from B&B new. I bought a '72 jag sedan for only $500 so I could get the front and rear suspension out of it and it came with a Chevy 327 conversion I got out of the deal too! I want to use the front suspension and Girling brake set-up. I have a Heidt's universal crossmember...anyone come across similar combination and might give me some pointers?

My car uses the series 1 xj front end......the frame was made to accept these parts bolted
to the frame. The stock unvented $30.00 replacement rotors have given me no problems at all.
A day at the roadcourse is also ok, without minimal fade only after sitting in the pit for awhile.One slow lap cools them down again and they work great. The vented discs from the series 2 are much heavier and wider requiring different mounting points, or wheel offset.
