I may be in the wrong section, but I need to know who or where I can get a set of XKE (Series 3) half shafts. I'm working on a project where im shortening my XJS rear end. Any information I can get will be well received...

 

You should be able to get new ones from the usuals (SNG Barrett, XKS.com, Terry's Jaguar) but if I recall correctly WelshEnt.com is an e-type breaker and may have used ones.

Good luck.

 

Yeah. A few of those places I've called already. They do have new parts available, but not half shafts...but I guess there isn't much demand on half shafts...I don't want to cut and re-weld these XJS axles...

 

I went to car-part.com and searched for XJS axle shafts and gots lots of hits.

 

Yeah...You can find XJS and XJ6 parts all day, but XKE and 420 parts are starting to get scarce like chicken teeth...

 

I meant so you could half shafts to gleefully mutate without feeling guilty.

Another option might be to call ClassicJaguar or even better Monocoque Metalworks. I know Chuck at MM buys parts cars to rebuild bodies (it's in his blog). Maybe he has some half shafts.

 

Thanks for the info buddy...much appreciated. I will definitely look into this...lol..it wasn't so much as feeling guilty. I just got my hands on some series 3 wishbones, so naturally I would like the factory half shafts to go with them for that clean look. Thanks

 

If you havent tried them it appears Coventry West also sells used parts.
