Jaguar Rear Caliper Rebuild Advice
I am helping out a friend get his early Contemporary Classic 427SC back on the road. The brakes are the last item that need doing. The early XKE inboard rear calipers are both frozen up. Where would I get them rebuilt or buy replacements?

Apple Hydraulics in Calverton,N.Y. can rebuild them. Also, I used a Wilwood caliper on mine. You need to make a simple bracket to install them. (My rear end is out of a 3.8S and the brakes on this one are a little different from some of the early E-types.) The calipers were Dynapro 120-9687. Only cost about $105 each.I will try to load a picture for you. Bill.

I'm curious to see the picture also. How did you handle the e-brake?

I had to use a line-lock from Speedway. Put in the line with my Prop valve on the left side.

Jaguar rear caliper rebuild
The original Dunlop calipers work fine once they are rebuilt. My wife and I have put many miles on various Etypes over the years. Much more than the Cobra anyway. I've settled on having calipers resleeved to standard size with stainless steel by Apple or Whie Post. They can supply new pistons if needed. Then be sure to bleed at least annually to keep moisture out.
That said, newer calipers like wildwood and vented grooved discs are a good upgrade. Dave |
