Wilwood 11-Inch Plain-Face Front Brake Conversion for Jaguar Series I E-Type with Red Calipers

This Series I Jaguar front conversion supplies red four-piston calipers, plain-face vented rotors and braided hoses. Check the original hub interface. Wilwood Engineering’s work covers the design and manufacture of disc brake systems for motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications. Bill Wood founded the company in 1977 in a business now based in Camarillo, California. Its calipers, master cylinders, brake rotors, brake lines, valves and fittings must be selected around the complete system.

Fitment & Compatibility

These front brakes are for the listed Jaguar XKE/E-Type Series I applications: 1961–1967 entries plus the specifically listed 1968 Series I configuration. Do not extend the 1968 entry to other E-Type series. Original front hubs are retained, and the supplied hats fasten to those hubs. The catalog's approximately 5 × 4.38-inch circle describes that hat-to-hub attachment, not a replacement wheel lug pattern. Four-piston dust-sealed radial-mount Dynapro calipers use BP-10 pads and 11.00 × 0.81-inch vented rotors. Front hoses 220-15399 are included. Remove the dust shields and follow DS-1293 for the original upright, hub/hat assembly and alignment. Verify wheel clearance with the drawing rather than the nominal 15-inch wheel size alone.

Listed models: XKE. See the supplied table below for each year, submodel and equipment condition.
