Nothing that has been stated here changes the fact that the Jaguar brake caliper piston is not interchangeable with the Dunlop/Sumitomo brake caliper piston, as supplied and without modification.
In fact, the installation requires rather serious and extensive modification to both the piston, and the ...

Re: Brake Caliper Pistons
It's not a question of what can be made to work (temporarily, permanently, or anywhere in between).
The section is about interchangeable parts. That implies they fit without serious modification or machine work. It also implies that the piece could be disassembled and reassembled with the original ...

Re: Brake Caliper Pistons
Going back to the original post, this requires the use of a lathe, and it's "interchangeable"?
Why not start out with: "Buy a piece of 4140 alloy 2 1/2 inch round, and turn the outside diameter down to 2.17 inches, turn down a groove for the outer seal, cup (bore) the inside, then part the piece at ...

The originals are chromed. Machining would take off the chrome so these replacements are apparently not chromed?

Looks like a standard six bolt boss bolted to the wheel.
Someone in Australia was selling the HKB bosses for the Gemini several years ago. It is the same from Bellett through Trooper.
It looks like they are almost all the same, solid aluminum, 12 threaded holes for the two different six bolt ...

Possible Early GT new front turn signal lenses
Maybe I figured out something unknown, maybe this is old news...
I spent Sunday looking at turn signal lenses on the fronts of ~1965 Triumph Spitfire and Austin Healey cars, wondering if they are the same as the pre-September 1969 Bellett GT.
I found an auction listing, the description says it ...

That one causes more irritation than the barbeque grille.
And unless the picture has been mirrored, that appears to be one of those overly common left-hand-drive GTs. The dash looks like it has the ultra-early three gauge style.

Re: Ford Edsel - designer has died aged 96
In April of 1989, Autoweek magazine did a comparison of the I-Mark RS (Gemini ZZ Handling by Lotus, the one universally hated in Australia, but with the DOHC engine) to a 1965 Lotus-Cortina. It seems that Isuzu should have delivered a Cortina with their own car, for every road test, because it was ...

I have managed to find out a bit more about this.
These medallions appeared in a brochure. There is no date, but I am going to guess some time before Fall 1969, because the tiny little picture of the GT has round turn signals on the front.

Hey JT does it say how many of the MX1600, MX1600II and R6 models were built, each?
There seems to be a few different pics of MX1600s and mainly a white MX1600II.
I know the R6 was probably built to order, but surely they would know how many!
Cheers,
