I decided to use 'Nylocks' instead of 'Star Washers' with 'Plain Nuts' even though they were a bit too deep.

In the Foreground a 'Nylock' that was just too Close for Comfort, so I slimmed them down about a 'Mil' using an Angle Grinder.

The Slimmed Down 'Nylock Nuts' were a Perfect fit. That Brake Pipe which had sadly failed to pass 'Quality Control; is only on just to keep the dust out.

Don't cut the Pipe to length until you've done the First one, then if it goes wrong you can chop off the end and start all over again, without wasting too much Pipe.

You want a Short Tight Kink Free Curve on the end that goes into the Caliper, so work it round on your Thumb.

It took about 12 Syringe Fulls to Top the Rad right up, although it 'appeared' to be full when I first put the Antifreeze in.

No Slots for Heat Dissapation and Chamfered at each end, which seems to me less Pad Area in Contact with the Rotors.

The Pad on the Left was sent to me in error and very obviously isn't the one for an XJS. The Pad on the Right is the Type that I normally use, though it is looking battered and bruised as I had to get it out of the Caliper with a FBH and Chisel

This One is the Brembo which has Chamfering at both edges and not what I thought I was getting, as the Suppliers Illustration shows them as being Identical to the Pads that I want to replace.
