Rear calipers

Would anyone know what rear calipers were fitted to Salisbury axles in Jags, Jensens etc. would need to have handbrake mech included? I want to convert my Tiger.

Have a word with Dino, he still has some Sierra Cosworth rear calipers of mine that will do the job - with a little fabrication from a specialist of course

Forgot to say, I think the factory cars had a 'Jensen' rear disc setup.

I thought it was from a Daimler SP250 Dart?

Here are some shots of the rear wheel disc brake set up that Rootes planned and Jensen developed using Girling kit that should never have been cancelled.

Bloody shame as they really stopped AF202

Are any of the parts they used generic or are they bespoke?

What set up did they have planed for the front with the disc rears ?.

Period reports show no changes planned for up front bar 5 stud hubs.

They must have used existing calipers from another model, but which car? If they are Daimlar Dart, they appear to be very rare & expensive (shared with Aston Martin as well). Had hoped they were off a common car & easily sourced. Looks like I may have to adapt to suit Cosworth calipers, but I like to keep my car in original style when possible!
