I ran vented rotors on my TR-4A race car. The conversion is fairly simple.
I purchased aluminum hubs from Tilton. These are designed for this
conversion and use stock TR bearings and seals. You use stock stub axles
and the stock TR-4A/TR-6 caliper mounting bracket. The vented rotors are
from an early 70's E-Type with 3 piston calipers to match. My
rotors/calipers came from a 1971 Series 3 E-Type. The late Series 2 cars
and some of the XJ-6's probably used the same parts, as the rotors and
calipers are readily available (I got mine used from Terry's Jaguar Parts
in Benton, IL). Not only did the car stop much better, but pad life was
considerably longer.

With all this talk about hubs, it reminded me of something that I has
been on my wish list for quite some time. I would like to put vented
front discs on my TR3. I see that they are available from some catalogs
for a small fortune. Do any of you know of any affordable conversions?
Ted Schumacher had once suggested that rotors from a Toyota pick-up
would fit, but I would still need to find calipers.
Thanks, JOE
