Hi Rick,
Thank you for your input!
Agreed! Have been trying to locate a source for 40 spline stub axles for the Jag IRS with no success. If any one out there in Cobra land has any info, please contact me!
Sometime back, I emailed Mike from CWI, to get his input and hopefully some sources to fill his huge void, but for whatever reason, never heard back. I'm sure he had some sources in Britain that I haven't been able to find. Mike has/had a brother there as well.
It would seem, that with such extreme braking conditions to cause such rear brake problems, that there should be some way to duct air across the rear brakes to aid in cooling...but I'm not a body or sheet metal guy.
Back to the big rotor/caliper issue. There are other limiting factors with the Jag IRS. rotor to LCA clearance. Even with our 103/4" rotors, there is a small amount of relief grinding required.
Also, there is limited room on the front side of the Jag IRS, so space is a very limiting factor on caliper size...ala our rear mounted kits. The best option at this time is our rear mounted Corvette calipers with integral Ebrake. Corvette used them until the '97 model change, so they must have adequate to have used them for so many years.
Since the big percentage our customer base/market is for brake systems with some kind of Ebrake to meet state safety inspections/regulations. caliper selection is very limited. We feel there are better solutions for Ebrakes than drive shaft Ebrake systems.
There is way to go to 1"/1,1/8" x 12" rotors, but would require a whole new LCA approach. Like all "for profit" companies,we are limited to demand to off-set the high development costs. In other words, market demand dictates products/development.
One last thought on half shafts, we don't believe in "butt" welds.
