jag clip
Hi Snakemaster
It`s been so long since i`ve been here i had almost forgotten about it. In the end I didn`t fit the Jag front clip, several reasons, and please don`t think I`m teaching you to suck eggs, but, having bought the clip and realistically, replaced all the bushes, the springs, the s/absorbers and discs, oh and the calipers etc, it started becoming bloody expensive, there was also the problem of the left hand power rack ?, if you do go down this route, don`t try to get a rack from America (the ususal route), because there were thousands of LH drive Jags in Europe, check EBAY. the later XJS front subframes were powder coated and clean up really well, however check for rust under the powder coating, I found this out with the last XJS I owned.
I actually bought a new Mustang 2 front end from Chassis Engineering in Iowa including discs calipers and power rack etc, much cheaper than the other method, everything included in the kit that you could possibly want, and it`s a bolt in unit, no welding, a small bit of cutting was required but it fits beatifully.
