    jag stuff

     



    The XKE is narrower but has spline drive for wire wheels ..parts will interchange to use the XJS hubs that uses 4.75 chevy pattern wheels. ,, I have seen a few write ups of how to narrow the sedan stuff, I bought 3 jag rears for $500 at a bone yard in Calif, 2 later model fronts for $250 ...K & K crosmembers in New ZEland. has a custom crosmember for front stuff. I plan on making my own front crossmember and using chevy mid sized cavilar center pivot rear racks. jag swaps are popular in england into us cars-trucks google jag ifs, irs etc and you should be able to find a lot of Info. My son put one of the rears in his 22 dodge lakester, we used an old set of CCR T bucket plans to make the rear brackets with an optical tracer plasma cutter that looked at the ccr prints. . after cutting out 3 sets we found the prints were not right, probably some distortion in the printing process, best to draft your own paterns checking all the dimensions and cutting up a jag cage and using transfer punches to get an exact hope placement.
