Understood, and fully agree. They should make this right. I suspect you are the first customer for the 326 mm rotors.

Or just install a new sway bar. Yeah that might be better.

On careful reread you and Oz certainly had. With ADD, I usually don’t make it past the first sentence in a post.

I used to be like that. My fix is to skip the first sentence!

I cannot believe that a company put on sale such a critical part like brakes without even testing them once.

Yep.
If they have done what we think (based the design on taking 25 mm off the outside of their 376 mm version) you would think they would have grabbed a stock 326 mm rotor to check against. If they had done so then Blind Freddy would have noticed that the new 326 mm rotor isn't right!

Apparently they had a 326m as a reference, so not sure how they still messed up.

So update.

They are waiting for a new rotor from jaguar to compare to the rotor they made. They based the rotor they sent me off a 46mm swept area rotor that they got from jaguar in the UK & apparently whichever jaguar parts they got it from is insisting that the 46mm swept area rotor that wortec got is correct.. Which it obviously is not.
They said once they have the new rotor from jaguar 3-4 weeks for the new rotor

Huge help with this photo! I sent this to wortec and they over layed it with the jaguar brake pad and are not ordering this pad to make the new rotor.

Hey All!

Just a quick update. Wortec finished the new rear rotors & are sending them over.

1: They covered shipping & Duties
2: They also sent me new EBC Yellow Brake pads to go along with them
3: Should be getting them Mid next week & will post the results along with new photos

on a side note, anyone know how to edit the thread tittle and first post? It wont let me anymore & now that the issue has been resolved i would like to post the update to thread tittle and first post.

Any of the forum moderators should be able to make that change to make it clear that this is a resolved issue.

Can't wait to see your results. I am really interested in getting a set of front and rears for my car.

BTW what was the cost of the rotors front and rear including shipping, taxes and duties?

Supply front (380mm) OEM upgrade rotors for Jaguar F Type - £1325.00
Supply rear (325mm) OEM upgrade rotors for Jaguar F Type - £860.00
Carriage Net - £210.00

From my invoice above. I'm in Canada so my duties will be different than the US but im sure someone can jump in with what the duties on their larger ones were

Donald and Boris are close friends. No duty on car parts from the UK to the US.
Canadians have to pay a 10% VAT depending on province.

Oh that's weird! I thought I posted about it. It's great! They sent new rotors and some ebc yellow stuff.

I actually had someone complement my car and said the first thing they noticed was the rotors 😊
