1971 E type V12 2+2 FHC

[Adrian S]

Hi I have recently purchased the car of my dreams,,.. in remarkable order 45k only on the clock...she has been stored for some time an had an engine rebuild after a ceased piston... she has been largely inactive for the last 10 years, so my recent short trips out to test and find her legs have resulted in a few issues and an ever growing list of to do's!..  my question today (there will be many more) the original brakes are still on the car and work to a point! i now have a sticky piston on front calliper and wish to overhaul the brakes... has anyone advice of what to get and where i can get the parts... i would like to put vented/drilled discs around. I believe this would require a 1/4" spacer to be fitted in the rear callipers? Advice please

Hi Adrian

She's a beauty ! I had a little look around for you, and came across this site https://www.scparts.co.uk/sc_en/british-cars/jaguar/jaguar-e-type-v12-series-3-1971-1974/brakes/front-brakes.html

I know nothing about them, but they may be able to assist?

Regards

Hi Adrian, and welcome to the Club.

E Types are a bit like London 'Buses  --  two new members with similar e types have just joined the club.

Good advice in respect of Classic Cars is often given by Jaguar Heritage.

The David Manners Group is also rather good a supplying parts for Classic cars.

Let us know how it goes  ---   a lot of members will be very interested as well as jealous!

Regards,

Peter.
