Default Brembo calipers questions.

Hello I have a question to ask of anyone that has the early gen brembo calipers. I’m in need of a set of rear brackets or if someone has a set and would be kind enough to send photos and measurements of them so I could have a set made. Thank you in advance.

my calipers are from an 01 xkr silver stone and have the white Jaguar written on them.

Mine are on the car but can get measurements best I can, I have pics of them off the car also.

EDIT: Another LS guy, eh? There's are least four of us on here now (308 anyway).

Come to think of it if you considered making one, you're halfway there with the dimensions you need:
  1. Correct rotor diameter for the caliper is 330mm, so figure top of the pad would be at approximately 165mm from centerline (max).
    • Solve hub centerline to existing mounting holes to know the radial height difference to place the caliper.
  2. Axial bolt pattern you have from the hub (90mm I think), and you have radial bolt pattern available from the caliper.
  3. Solve for axial centerline of rotor to hub face, and distance from it to center the caliper and you're set.
