brake upgrades from xks and wilwood brakes while jaguar was certainly at the leading edge of technology by fitting disc brakes in the fifties many improvements have been made since our wilwood brake conversion kits employ lightweight alloy calipers for a reduction in un-sprung weight and large gains in pad area supplied with all necessary adapters hardware and streetable brake pads a great complement would be a set of braided stainless brake lines below kit includes four-piston calipers and mounting hardware with new pads does not include rotors e-type series i shown above e-type series ii e-type series iii mk ii 3.8s 1 7-121 0 1 7-121 1 1 7-1212 1 7-121 3 1 7-1236 a e-type vented rear rotor kit b braided brake lines c racing brake fluid a convenient 12oz bottle hermetically sealed and guaranteed against unwanted moisture absorption dot 3 grade dot approved a one of the trade-offs of jaguar s excellent independent rear suspension is marginal air flow to the rear rotors over the years racers have devised all types of scoops and air extraction devices in an attempt to get it to and away from the rear rotors this highquality kit attacks the problem through the use of vented rear rotors that like all vented rotors draw air through the center of the brake disc for improved cooling kit includes rotors adapters and hardware requires the use of post1 969 girling-type calipers not included e-type rear rotor conversion 1 7-1214 b these superior braided brake lines improve brake feel by eliminating the sponginess caused from rubber brake lines under extreme conditions rubber brake lines will give causing a mushy brake pedal these stainless reinforced lines will not give transferring the full hydraulic force to the calipers and/or wheel cylinder complete car sets short wheelbase e-type series i long wheelbase e-type series i short wheelbase e-type series ii long wheelbase e-type series ii all series iii e-type mk ii xk-120 and xk-140 xk-1 50 1 7-121 5 1 7-1250 1 7-1251 1 7-1252 1 7-1252 1 7-1253 co-3909ss 1 7-121 5 c from the wilwood engineering people this brake fluid is for any racing or super duty application this specially formulated hi-temp chemistry has a dry boiling point of 570° and a low viscosity allowing easy bleeding this low viscosity reduces the aeration of the brake fluid caused by excessive pumping during bleeding larger containers have a tendency to become contaminated with moisture lowering the boiling point and making it unsuitable for racing not recommended in standard braking systems for competition only brake fluid 1 7-290-0632 96 orders 800 444-jags 5247 · fax 805 544-1664
