Here are some details of the modifications to the brakes and suspension on the car. One of the last additions was that of the rear discs from a Rover 800, which proved very effective, especially in heavy braking from high speed. More rear bias on the hydraulic system could probably have been tolerated, making them even more effective.

	Here are a couple of views of the rear disc installation, one of the disc from the outside, and the second a closeup of the caliper from under the car. Note the nice, bright yellow GasSpax adjustable damper, the Rover 800 Handbrake cable (second picture) and the shiny new disc, redrilled to the SD1 5-stud pattern instead of the Rover 800 4-stud. The centre spigot hole also needed to be opened to suit the SD1 halfshaft flange, which itself was turned down by a few millimetres to fit inside the disc. The fabricated caliper mounting plate can just be seen in the second picture. This was made from sheet steel of the thickness of the original backplate, with an aluminium spacer attached to offset the caliper to the correct place. Whether this combination of metals will result in corrosion problems we can only wait and see!
	Note here the route of the handbrake cables underneath the differential housing. These may appear to need more support, but when the then-unfitted rear anti-roll bar was reinstalled they needed rerouting anyway...
	Here is a view of the Jaguar front brake conversion, which is fairly common on these cars. These discs are 285 x 24 mm, and were later replaced, along with those heavy cast iron calipers, with discs from one variant of the Jaguar XJ40, which are 290 x 28 mm, and (magnesium?) alloy calipers from Alcon - similar to AP Racing types. The front Koni adjustable dampers are of course completely invisible, being inside the strut legs.
