Help to indentify x308 xjr 2 piece rotors
Hey everyone, I am upgrading to XJR100 brembos and the calipers I got came with some used two piece rotors. I cant seem to identify the maker as there are no brand names on it. The previous owner cant seem to remember either. I ask because one has a chip in the rotor and I would prefer to replace the rotor. i can get more pictures if needed.

I have been asking around to Jaguar experts and haven't gotten an answer on where the hats came from. I am beginning to believe that they may be custom as the person I bought this off of seemed to possibly be involved with NASCAR as he was also selling old NASCAR brakes. If there is enough interest, I could try to blueprint these hats at some point, or if there is someone local to the San Diego area that does this type of stuff for a living could blueprint them so at least if people really want them, the design can be sent to a good machine shop to be made. I'll continue asking around, but in the meantime it seems the rotor itself is nothing too special and any Brembo,ap racing, or Alcon 355x32x10bolts rotors can be used. We just need to find who made the hats

The Bell can be 3D scanned by any good machine shop, they get a set of datum points from the bell and from there an engineering CAD drawing enables production on CNC.

Alright, last update unless I find who made the bells. I have found that the discs that came with the brakes were likely Brembo or maybe even a clone of Brembo discs. I have fitted a new set of Brembo 355x32 rotors. As a set that includes both discs and all-new hardware, it will cost $1210 USD. Obviously, it's very expensive, but I love the idea of having something so overkill and silly on a street car, let alone a large saloon car. It also doesn't hurt that each rotor weighs roughly 20 lbs as opposed to the 40-50 lbs that the one-piece rotors I had bought weigh. That is a considerable weight saving in unsprung mass, which is noticeable in the car's initial turn-in. It feels lighter on its feet, so to speak, in the steering department. Anyway, here are some pictures.
