A couple of questions for East Coasters
I was bleeding my brakes and noticed some leakage. Seems three years on salty roads (yes, I drive in the winter---on the 'Cape it's usually over 45 degrees, so why not?) has worked its magic on already-old tubing. What are some good leads on stainless brake lines. Went into Fast Fords, etc. and got my head spinning. Anyone got good leads or ideas, I'd appreciate a shout.
Item two is simply based on curiosity. After reading some horror stories about old, hard-used Jag rears, I thought it might be wise to have some insight into normal checking and maintenance. Rather than emburden you guys with tons of writing, etc., I just may need an address or heads-up. One guy from N. H. told me to "definitely have the thing checked, spec(k)ed and cleaned up". His had a Contemporary which had the same rear end (XKE) as mine.He scribbled down a business address in TENNESSEE. The place specializes in rebuilding Jag rear-ends with Spicer(?) and Dana(?) centers. Any help on this will be amply rewarded (at the very least, I'll stay off your threads!) Ar-ar-ar-0000000(gle)!
Cheers

As far as the SS brake lines, I use these guys and I am very happy with the parts and service:

Brakes
Freddy,
For stainless brake lines check out SSB, they can make and bend any type of brake lines you need.
http://www.stainlesssteelbrakes.com/
SSB was/is owned by Paul and Lauren Fix (Driving Ambitions Performance Driving school), the inside guy I used to deal with was Mark but it has been years.
I dumped those Jag brakes years ago and got the Wilwood Jag kit from CWI in CA. CWI specializes in Jag rears.

BTW the Jag rears are Dana 44
Good luck,
RD

As far as the Jag rear end is concerned, I know that Reider Racing does a swell job (ERA uses them for all their Jag Rear Ends, last I heard).
