Hey guys long time follower first time poster.
Im currently doing a 71 chevelle PT'er, the motor and trans are done, L92 motor LS3 intake Mast M90 and harnes and a T56, pretty standard stuff these days. Global west uppers and lowers Hotchkis sway bar and QA1 coilovers, havent finished the rear suspension yet.
So now Im getting to the brakes and Im on a tight budget so I was checking a local salvage yard that has had alot of late model F body's and vett stuff, no luck. But they did have a set, front and back of Baer callipers off of a 04 Jaguar S-series R-type, for $400 in perfect shape. The fronts were what i was looking for. I was curious if the dimensions I.E. mountin surfaces and rotor size were the same as something that could be used in my application. It seems like a really good price if it could work.
I looked on line an dthe Baer site and couldnt find much of anything about Jaguar using Baer brakes at all, seems this was the only year and the only model to have used them.
Any insight would be apreciated.
