I've just checked the new issue of Custom Car from cover to cover & found nothing Yodie. Thought there'd be loads. Suggest you try the guys over at the National Street Rod Association forum. They're bound to know where to find what you're after. http://www.nsra.org.uk/ |

I doubt there's much available nowadays. You used to be able to get diff covers, but if you've got a V12, it should have a finned ally cover anyway. Fancy tie-plates for the bottom inner pivots were also available, and you could get chromed U/J covers.
All the jag axles were the same, with the exception of axle ratios and width, which varied.
The usual route was to chrome everything in sight, and polish the diff cover and outer hub carriers. Check out my Mercedes trike, possibly £1000 of chrome and polishing at today's prices.
Wisbech Engineering used to be the big Jag axle modifiers.

you can get everything from the states, but at a price. They generally dont describe them as Jag IRS but their own independant rear suspension. Some service parts were even cheaper than over here when I built mine 2 yrs ago.
I will see if i can dig out some paperwork but Im sure a decent search on t'internet will help you.

Yodleypoos. Had a word with the Pop Browns people at the Nostalgia Nats over the weekend. They do indeed do chrome dress-up parts for the Jag axles. Diff covers, smooth & finned, tie rods in various designs, chrome shocks etc. They're in their printed catalogue but not on the online version. Order a copy from www.popbrowns.co.uk -or pinch my copy. I'm gonna be spending lots of pennies I haven't got with them over the winter cos they do all manner of lovely bits for my '27 T project. |
