Leroy- I went thru the same issue a year ago. I am using the complete rear- cage and all from a 1965 3.8S Jag.(US version). It is the same width as the Jag series 3 E type. I used the cage to keep all the location points that were used on the original car. My car is a scratch build, but the frame and suspension is very similar to the old US Arntz. I first used a 200#, 10 inch spring and 12 3/8 shock. Sent it all back and finally settled on an 11 inch Carrera shock and 250 # spring. Part #s are Speedway Motors: Carrera shock # 255-3235 and Afco 8" coilover spring # 282501cr.I am using 295-50-15 tires and ride height is correct. part #s can be found on the internet. Good luck, Bill.
