XJ6 Series 2 Brakes
Hi Everyone Sorry to be a gatecrasher I’m not really a Jag guy but need some help and thought you guys might be able to help. Ive purchased an XJ6 front clip with a plan to adapt it to fit my 40’s truck. The guy I bought the clip from said it came from a series 2 but knows nothing more about it. The clip has brake discs/rotors but no callipers. My query is if buy some series 2 4 pots will they fit? Or is there a risk if it’s an earlier series 2 that they won’t? Thanks for your help. |
Forgot to mention the discs are vented. Thanks |

There are probably some identifiers to help you determine if you have an 'early' or 'late' set-up. Hopefully someone with better info will chime in. Cheers DD |

You're gonna get hurt on the shipping and core charges though.

Yep !

You should be looking at the 4-piston calipers. The single piston front calipers are for the later series of Jag sedans. I doubt that they'd fit at all. But, obviously, I've been wrong before :)
In 1986-1987 Jaguar was building two very different cars but both carrying "XJ6" badges...so parts cataloging gets confused. If you search for parts using 1985-earlier you won't run into this conflict. Cheers DD |
