THE INTERNATIONAL JAGUAR 'S'-TYPE REGISTER FORUM

I have my 65 S type for sale. It is a restoMod with a V6 chevy engine and auto trans, very good to excellent condition, a true daily driver. Currenty in Hemmings, will be listing on "Bring a Trailer" soon. Also, original brake calipers (I installed Cooper) and an extra 4 wire wheels with t...

I was going down the road fine, then suddenly the engine shut off. Tapping the key switch allowed me to restart, so I think that is faulty. I bought the car after the negative ground conversion, so likely the wiring is non-standard. The wiring diagram says there are three wires that attach to the sw...

Thanks to all for the great advice! - I'll see what I can find

I find myself in need of a new front bumper and at least one riser for my 65 S-type. It was damaged in the shop that I had working on it and it has a wrinkle in it that the Bumper Boyz of LA say is not fixable. I hear the S-type is unique and I cannot use the Mark II - is this correct? Also, there a...

I just got a pair of the the Moss C27024 standard rotors.

I am having a bit of a problem hooking up the flex hose to the coopercraft calipers, though. The instructions seem to indicate doing strange things.

Thought I'd provide an update. I tried to gracefully remove the stub axle with a bit of help from a slide hammer. but after a few medium forceful hits, decided I was more at risk for damaging things then fixing things, so I rethought the whole process. The stub axle itself looked good after I took o...

Many thanks to both Norman and Glyn I will definately check the lock stops and shims, but I should have emphasized the scraping of the shield lower down in the photo - over the right part of the stub axle carrier. That clearance doesn't seem to be effected by the castor angle. Yet worth checking out...

I was replacing my front rotors when I noticed the left front rotor was hitting the splash guard and wearing through so much that is touches the carrier (see image). The old rotor does not seem to be warped as there is contact as I turn it 360 degrees. Can this be anything else other than an bent st...

Thanks for the detailed reply. From where I'm at now, i think I'll just order up a new set of front rotors and probably Coopercraft calipers. Then I should be good to go for a while.

Again - great to hear from an expert on friction/stiction

I just took a look at Glyn's link and found it interesting and enlightening - I also learned what a tribologist is. The shop didn't have any spacers behind the pads - the design of the Dunlop calipers doesn't seem to allow for any. The post rising from the center of the piston is the fitting for the...
