Last of the Halibrands

We finished off the last of the Halibrand Speedways today.

I am very happy with the results!

I have allways liked the Kidney beans over the other more popular styles.Like the sprints.

Put on the tye plate under the cage and filled it with lube,It is an XJS12 Diff so is an equalock or posi rear. The posi rears with their clutches need a special additive in the gear oil. I am on the Jaguar Forum and there is lots of info regards this.New to me  but I did it so should be OK. 

What is nice is the wheels will be just in from the fenders so no rub and still nice and wide 8 "in" rear and 6 "in" front.

NICE!

After looking at the mounted wheels I plan on making an aluminum disk to cover the extra mounting holes then my mini cap will hold it all down. Just like the photo of the front wheel.

Having an easy day

Sitting at Rustys place.

Here are the start of the Halibrand Kidney beans.

I have had them for years but they are Ford bolt pattern so need to drill for Chev/Jaguar.

Nick is a great machinest so here we are centering then drilling.

Fronts are 15X6 and rears are 15X8, Should look real nice!

 So here is one mounted. I may make a flat disk to hide the extra holes.
I still like the Caddy hubcaps  and so may just have two sets of wheels! Hope to get some used tires for the steel wheels as two sets of tires is a bit rich for me!
