I don't think CWI's kit will work with early caliper design, since the basic caliper is not split down the middle.

The later calipers are much cheaper to rebuild though. $10 pistons vs $50 pistons.
Bob,
I've got the one cast aluminum Girling Series II calipers. I believe theones you are talking about, the one piece Iron caliper with the bolt in aluminum cylinder housings were Dunlop Series I, not Girling's, no?
What do you guys at ERA use for your Jag based rear ends? Do you go with the stock Dunlop Series I's, the stock Girling Series II's, or some aftermarket setup? Solid rotors? Vented? Where do you get your calipers? Can I purchase calipers from you? Any info is appreciated, it ain't always easy working on an orphan! Thanks.
