Inboard to Outboard Rear Brakes

transmittermantransmittermanMember
In case any of you are interested in taking on this mammoth task (I am) the Jan 08 edition of
http://www.kelsey-forums.co.uk/cgi-bin/jwm/YaBB.pl
will be describing the conversion of an early Jaguar XJS rear brake system from inboard to outboard disc brakes.
Now I'm aware our longchamps have different lower arms and one or two other design differences but I'm not going to let that change my direction for a little bling out back:-))

Not just for bling.

Other advantages include better cooling as well as ease of changing pads.

What do you think of this:

Check out the aluminum cage!

now imagagine this with some of these brakes front AND rear:

I will replace the Brembo script with that of DT as used on the Pantera Si's.

Will probably go to 17" rims all round.
