Will the whopper-stoppers go inside a 14" wheel, or do you need to run something larger?

Cheers,

Was always planning to go larger on this one Harv - I believe Jag wheels were 15" originally so not a big problem - biggest problem is can I run them as I don't want to use Jag brakes on the rear.

A question for the engineer.........

The Jag stud pattern is HQ, Chev.

Will be a Borg Warner 78 with the stud pattern changed to HQ/Chev

So balancing the caliper size or slaves will sort the brakes. I did have a chart with all dimensions of brake piston sizes but cant find it at the minute.
Brakes are a balancing act !!

Yeah I have a Jag diff that came with the front and as a job lot but I have advertised it for sale - not interested in trying to fit that behemoth underneath an EK - should check the piston diameter on it I guess before it disappears.

Yes they are a dana 44 very strong diff, i have one in a studebaker LSD factory.

The jag rear ends are pretty to look at !
I am interested in what you end up concocting with the front end, factory suspension seems to be the best performers for our mixed roads.
