SE305 KIT. OUR POPULAR, PROVEN DESIGN FRONT DISC BRAKE CONVERSION KIT REPLACES DRUM BRAKES ON WIRE WHEEL XK120 & XK140 WITH A POWERFUL 4-POT CALIPER. (BRAND/ COLOUR MAY VARY).

We have been using and supplying this 'Quick-Fit' design of kit for over 20 years and have tested it out on our own XK's. It is well designed, parts are properly designed and engineered and if ever required, repair parts are easy to obtain, as it is based on a classic 1970's Jaguar (& Volvo) O.E. Girling system. The brake pad supplied is 75% Bigger than the standard later XK150 original equipment square pad.

THIS COMPREHENSIVE KIT IS VERY SIMPLE TO FIT AND INCLUDES:

2 x XK150 QUALITY BRAND (ground face) BRAKE DISCS (many kits exclude these.)

2 x XK150 FRONT SPLINED HUBS (many kits exclude these)

2 x XK150 STYLE MOUNT PLATE. (Whole drum assembly simply unbolts from the  upright and is replaced by this 4-bolt plate )

2 x  TOP QUALITY 4-POT, CLASSIC DESIGN, CALIPER (2-Bolt fitting).

1 x  SET OF LARGE, QUICK FIT, BRAKE PADS & PINS TO SUIT.

1 x 4000K WHEEL INNER AND OUTER BEARINGS, SEAL and RETAINER KIT

1 x  COMPREHENSIVE BOLTS & NUT FITTING KIT WITH RIGID FEED PIPES AND UNIQUE ADAPTORS FOR RETAINING STANDARD FRONT XK120/140 BRAKE HOSES (3020) FOR SERVICABILITY. AVOID CUSTOM MADE 'CONVERSION' IMPERIAL/METRIC HOSES THAT MANY CHEAP KITS USE, LEAVING YOU WITH NO EASILY OBTAINABLE REPLACEMENT SPARES.

A RIGID PIPE OUT OF THE CALIPER IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KEEP FLUID SUPPLY SAFELY AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS AROUND THE CALIPER.

NOTE : YOU SHOULD AVOID PLUMBING HOSES DIRECTLY INTO AUTO CALIPERS.

WE KNOW OF POORLY DESIGNED KITS, USING LONG 'CUSTOM' HOSES, THAT HAVE WORN THROUGH DUE TO WHEEL / TYRES RUBBING THROUGH THEM IN MOTION. HYDRAULIC HOSES ARE TECHNICALLY INFERIOR TO SOLID PIPES, AS THEY CONSIST OF WEAKER, FLEXIBLE MATERIALS, SO ARE KEPT AS SHORT AS NECESSARY IN A SYSTEM. THIS MINIMISES SIDEWALL PRESSURE LOSSES AND PROPER DESIGN SHOULD KEEP THEM ROUTED WELL AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS. THEIR PURPOSE IS SOLELY TO ALLOW FOR THE LEAST MECHANICAL MOVEMENT NEEDED.

LONG CONVERSION HOSES CAN LITERALLY BE USED TO 'CUT CORNERS' AND COST, REMOVING COMPONENTS AND ADAPTER / JOINTS BUT SOMETIMES INADVERTENTLY CREATE SAFETY PROBLEMS AND ARE ALSO HARD TO SOURCE WHEN THEY FAIL. 

NOTE : THIS KIT REQUIRES NO SERVO ASSISTANCE, AS IT GIVES GOOD PEDAL PRESSURE AND FAR IMPROVED BRAKING OVER DRUM BRAKES. COMES WITH FULL FITTING INSTRUCTIONS, DIAGRAMS AND OUR BACK-UP ADVICE IF REQUIRED (SEE PICTURES). IF YOU DO WISH TO FIT A SERVO, WE ADVISE A LOW BOOST  UNIT, SEE : SE310

It is a proven and simple to follow kit. Most home enthusiasts, with the correct facilities, have fitted it within a day, or less.

NOTE : AS THE SALOONS SHARE COMMON SUSPENSION UPRIGHTS, STUB AXLES & HUBS THESE KITS SHOULD ALSO FIT JAGUAR MKV / (MK4?) / MKVIII onwards.
