Help Identify Brake calipers????
I recently purchased a Jaguar XJ6 from an estate that came with some Jaguar spare parts. The owner had among other cars a 1962 Mark X
I have 4 calipers but no markings from Dunlop or Girling. They look like E-Type Series 1 but that may be the same as a 1962 Mark X.
Any help in identifying them?

The technical term for parts like these is "wheel cylinder". These, bolted to the wheel cylinder carrier casting, make up a caliper.
Have you looked on SNG Barratt ?

Found them ! They are very early Dunlop cylinders fitted on the Mk 1 saloon and the XK150 when disc brakes came out in the 50s. See here:

and

The brake pad was circular and fitted inside a casting with a circular housing. These were a perfect PITA, because the whole caliper had to come off to replace the pads, hence the later type we are all familiar with.
