Joe, the Tilton hubs were designed specifically to adapt the Jaguar brakes
to the TR-6. This was done for Group 44 in the early 70's when SCCA first
allowed the larger brakes on the TR-6. When I called Tilton to inquire
about them, they said they still had the program to make these hubs (they
are made on a CNC machine) and they had a set to me in a couple of weeks
(but that's been almost 20 years ago).
Anyway, the key factor about these hubs is that the surface where the
rotors attach has to be positioned just right to make the rotor line up
with the caliper. Since the design was for the TR-6, you have to use the
TR-6 (same as the TR-4A) caliper mounting bracket. However, this bracket
will bolt right up to any upright designed for a disk brake car (i.e.
TR-3/4, etc.)
I would contact Tilton first to see if the hubs are still available. Seems
to me they were about $125 each when I bought them. There may be other
people providing these same hubs today (Ken Gillanders, Greg Solow???).
Good luck.

Jack,
Thanks for the info on the vented rotors. I already have aluminum front
hubs, but they are custom made from a local machine shop, 20+ years ago.
Do
you know what is different with the Tilton ones to make them work with the
conversion? I may just have to get some rotors and try it out.
Thanks Again, JOE
