Thanks for getting me through my e type irs rebuild. You still playing with jags as not seen any new stuff.
No I haven’t moved on, I’m self employed, and the whole Covid crap damn near put me under so I’ve been play catch up, then there’s the devastating event that I lost my son the while shooting my last video, it’s been really hard for me to keep all the balls in the air but I believe I’m getting back on my feet again.
Don’t give up on me. Thank you for your very kind words. Cheers! Mark
@@JagMods So sorry for your loss. I still find your instructional videos fun to watch and they are still relevant to my current project. I wish you well and thanks!

Thank you. I will be posting videos again soon. How soon? That I don’t know yet. 🤦♂️
Just discovered your channel from your link in Jag-lovers!
I'm rebuilding my e-brake (and rear) calipers now. I did not paint anything as I don't want it flaking off and jamming the works. But yours do look very nice for the video! Here's a tip for attaching the pawl spring: hook one end into the rivet piece then instead of trying to pull the spring up to the pawl, hook the pawl onto the free end of the spring and pull the pawl onto its mounting pins. The pawl is easier to grab onto than the spring.
I like your vids, looking forward to more!!
great tip on the spring! I've got about 5 more to do.
the paint I used was brake / caliper primer then a couple of coat of gold paint with a brake / caliper clear coat. I've done this on regular calipers and it doesn't come off.
@@JagMods 14:02 just subscribed to your channel! It is wonderful… I have a 1961 Jaguar Mark IX, and I need to replace the parking brake pads. Could you please tell me the position the pads need to go in when placing into the caliper? I really would appreciate it! Mine were missing so I didn’t have the old pads to use as a reference. Thank you in advance! Jim

Thank you for reaching out!
The early Saloons have a different IRS than the XJ's it's narrower and use a different brake configuration. I'm not an expert on anything let alone the early Jaguar Saloons. That being said, I did a quick look at SNG's website for the Mk IX hand brake pads. Evidently, it's a DIY "handbrake pad rebuilt kit.". Consisting of the braking material and some rivets to hold the pad on the backing plate. Is this what you have? Judging from the picture, it also looks like the pads are key'd to a handbrake pad backing plate. Do you have the backing plates - should be 4 of them?
The whole pad should be in contact with the handbrake pad backing plate. The pad will always match the contour of the rotors' braking surface - no over hang anywhere. When mounting the brake material to the backing plate, the rivet heads will go into the recess hole of the pad, and the pokey bit will to through a corresponding hole in the hand brake backing plate - away from the rotor. Hopefully this helps. Let me know please :)
@@JagMods thank you so much for getting back to me! The pads that you mentioned with rivets are the ones for the 1959 through 60. Mine takes a different pad and I’m just not sure of the placement because I didn’t have any pads to begin with! Lol they’re delivering the pads today and I’ll do my best.
Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I really appreciate it!

I just took another look at the pads on the later Mk X and these are a bit more like the XJ handbrake assembly pads. I also cross referrenced the Mk X handbrake pads to the XJ pads - they are the same. Hopefully your pads came with the mounting hardware too. Which is nothing more than a weird looking flat bolt that attaches the pad to the handbrake caliper along with a star style lock washer & the appropriate nut.
There is a hole in the top of the handbrake caliper(s). This is for the fork looking thingy (aka retraction plate), that on a good day, pulls the brake pads away from the rotor. I'd consider a wear item and should be replaced. Typically, people wear the pads down to the rivets, and the fork gets all bent out of shape. ultimately the handbrake doesn't retract fully and drags. Not a pleasant smell. Just replace it if you haven't already. Oh, and the other bit of kit that should be replaced is the adjustment pawl. More often than not the springs have snapped and are worthless.
reference,
There's an exploded view of the rear brake assembly. maybe that will help too.
Anyway...
Each brake pad has a corner lopped off - that is the backside of the top of the pad. Top being, away from the center of the rotor. It will be on the same side as the pivot point of the caliper. - the rear of the car. Also there is what looks like some sort of alignment pin hole on each of the handbrake pads - No pin required. Not really sure what the purpose of the hole is - maybe earrings or a pendent for the Significant other, or a special handbrake pad removal tool - IDK? That is the top of the pad and sticks up towards the cage.
Let me know how you get long
Sincerely,
Mark@jagmods
👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍🍻🇦🇷🥇🛠 Muchas gracias desde Argentina no podía armarlo sin tu reseña👏
Gracias por sus amables palabras! Tu comentario es mi primer comentario no inglés; y estoy emocionado! Debo admitir que tuve que revisarlo a través de un traductor para averiguar lo que dijiste. Conozco un poco de español de la escuela, pero como se puede ver (de mí en mis videos) eso fue hace muchas décadas. ¡Gracias de nuevo! Voy a poner otro video pronto - cubriendo tuberías de freno. ¡Salud, amigo!
@@JagMods 😀🙏👍👏👏👏👏🛠
Thank you for this video
You are more than welcome!! Tell your Jag buddies, or if your a club member get the word out.
I’m very grateful you found the video useful.
Sincerely,
Mark @jagmods
Love your vids keep up the good work 👍
Great detailed review. What paint did you use ?
I used regular krylon - The "Shims, Rotors, Calipers, Oh my" video talks about the steps of painting of the calipers.

I've got footage on how I painted the parts, but I haven't made a video of it because, I didn't think anybody cares. haha...
@@JagMods Great video , When you finished assembly and started to ratchet the arm , does it automacticly set its clearance ?
@@bobdavis3389
Yes it does. First go it takes a while. I did it on the bench to take up most of the slack.
Go8d job! Btw
Hi whats the best grease ? We have red rubber, or a waterproof castrol? Copper slip?
Thank you for watching the video.
Red rubber is more of a lubricant for rubber parts and protector of rubber bits. It's oil base is vegetable oil, which is why it works so well with rubber. It's not really made for metal lubrication.
Castrol's water grease - I have no experience with this product so I can't really offer any advise. other than what is below (the cooper grease bit).
copper slip isn't so much as a grease as an anti-sieze compound designed for higher temperatures.
I typically use this on exhaust flange bolts, and mounting the caliper to the upright. Essentially any place where fasteners are exposed to high temperatures. Also great heat sync. works well on the back of a brake pad to draw heat away from the pad, and helps to prevent brake squeaking. The downside is it can contaminate rubber. Wouldn't recommend near electrial components like ABS systems - copper is non magnetic and can interfear with the magnets used in ABS.
Which ever is the most heat resistant - meaning it won't flash off. I don't mean the overcoat creepy kind. Essentially you'll want to use which ever lube offers the best corrosion prevention, will stay in place with heat, something that won't melt off and contaminate the brakes; and won't get hard over time. I used Lucas sticky grease mainly because it was what I had and offered the best of protection (of what I had available).
Hope this helps.
