THE INTERNATIONAL JAGUAR 'S'-TYPE REGISTER FORUM

Any chance of posting a picture of the calipers? The S3/XJS calipers have Girling or a large G on the side of them as part of the casting. I can't remember what the S1 calipers look like now as mine went in the bin over 20 years ago when i replaced them with XJS items and vented discs when I rebuilt...

Chris, my car '64 model doesn't have the California markings but I have stack pipes on the carbs with the crankcase venting out to the road via a tube. I have a catch tank waiting to be fitted when I get around to it.

John the calipers fitted must be after market items e.g. Coopercraft or Zeus, the only other commonly done conversions are using 420 but this requires changing the uprights to 420 items. As far as I know Series 3 cars were fitted with 4 pot calipers along with XJS's including the V12 variants all us...

John, do you know the make of the conversion?

If they are Còopercraft and not vented discs then they will be standerd S Type using XJ6 Series 1 pads. Series 1 XJ's (4.2's) had non vented discs.

Hi Fernando Sounds like you have a steep learning curve coming up! The best place to get any panels you will need is Martin Robey' s, Have a look at their web page with the front panels listed. The are listed under Mk2 but are the same for the lower sections on the S Type. https://www.martinrobey.co...
