Dear Mr. Cooper,
In June 2016 I personally bought a brake system for my Jaguar E Type 3.8 l FHC 1963 from you in Sidmouth.
I am extremely happy with this braking system and I am happy every time I brake.
Now I’m in the process of adding a small stock of spare parts for my E Type. So I would like to buy a Coopercraft Vented Disc Conversion Kit for my car from you.
My vehicle is a 3.8 l E Type from 1963.
Best regards

Dear Mr Cooper
Many thanks for the brake pipes. The calipers went on today without any problems whatsoever. Both calipers appear to fit perfectly and no adjustment (shims, etc) were needed at all, a simple bolt-on job.
I will not be able to road test them for a couple of weeks, as I have other work to do on the car, but I am looking forward to my car stopping properly now and the brakes not seizing up every time the car stands up for any period of time…..
Again, many thanks.

Just to follow up; the completed part of the order arrived by courier this afternoon. Thank you so much for obliging my request and for such prompt service! Also, I’ll be ordering the rear caliper upgrades for the Mark 2 later in the week. I must add, I was very impressed with the front calipers; they look very impressive and, I’m absolutely confident that with the (3:1) upgraded vacuum booster (which I also have for installation) they should really do the business! I’ll provide further feedback and photos when it’s all up and running.

Peter,
I have fitted the rear piston assemblies, and my braking problems seem (at last) to be over. The brakes are sharp, and the pedal pressure is consistent, so success at last! I hadn’t really taken on board how potentially unreliable the original piston assemblies can be, even after re-sleeving & sealing etc. Had I known I wouldn’t have wasted my time on them, and would have gone straight to the option you offer.

As we did put Coopercraft brakes three years ago on my E-type Series 1 and I am extremely satisfied I think about using your system.
There are some questions I would like to ask and I would be very happy to receive your answers.

The good news is that on my Mk 2 I have the best front calipers available – Coopercraft! I bought them from you in the late 1990’s and they still work great. In 15 years I sadly have only about 100 miles on the car, but I have kept the brakes working by driving the car approx. once per month. I think the front calipers are working fine, although I have not taken them apart to check. But now I am going through the entire car and getting it back on the road, and I came across the rear calipers which are in bad shape.
Please let me know if I should order the steel kit, shipped to CT in USA. I can call you today with credit card.
Many thanks.

Good evening,
In the last few weeks you have supplied a rear brake kit, pads etc for a Mk2 Jaguar.
These have been a great addition to the Coopercraft vented discs and 4 pot callipers that transformed the front end braking when I installed your kit a couple of years back.
The new set up has been used in anger at two Goodwood track days in the last week and the brakes are doing a good job of stopping from much higher speeds.

‘Unrivalled technical experience and backup from Coopercraft International’:
Hi there
Just a quick update on the brake situation. After our last discussion I did make adjustments to the linkage arm on the rear brake master cylinder. This had very little free play and this was adjusted to ~2mm. At this stage the hand brake had been removed so this could not cause a problem and the foot brake then behaved with no problems. I have now reinstalled the overhauled hand brake calipers so if there are any further problems it must be down to the hand brake.
I had never come across this problem with free travel on the master cylinder before and there is no mention of it in any of the collection of E-type books I have.

Dear Mr. Cooper,
It occurs to me that you may appreciate some after sales feedback.
Your front disc brake conversion was fitted to my 1953 XK120 OTS in March 2014. The transformation in braking performance is startlingly impressive. Pedal pressure is light, in fact fully up to modern car standards – and without any servo assistance. After more than a year, the brakes’ performance is still first class and very reassuring in more than matching the demands of Malaysia’s roads and heavy traffic in our fiercely tropical climate.
I have had no hesitation in recommending Coopercraft disc brakes to fellow members of the Malaysia and Singapore Vintage Car Register.
You can be justifiably proud of your products.
Yours sincerely,

I fitted your brakes front and rear some years ago to a historically famous racing Jaguar MKI – I never looked back, they are superb.
I have recently sold the car to a well-known collector and now have an XK150S, so would like to order from you again.
Received calipers etc. today with grateful thanks, great delivery service.

Dear Coopercraft,
Please quote me on a front & rear brake kit for my Jaguar XK120 , shipped to Sydney, Australia.
The lower end of the performance scale would be appropriate, given the cars’ intended use.
Your company has a great reputation in this country.

Hi Debbie i fitted your full brake caliper upgrade package to my XK 150 in 2012 . It transformed the braking efficacy to such an extent that i have now done 3 track days and 2 major tours the last been 4100 miles to the top of Norway. This trip was done in only 15 days actual driving so we were pushing on. The billet aluminium looks like new after 11,000 hard miles and no matter how dusty and stained it gets , comes up like new with a spray of P21S wheel gel. The pad upgrade to EBC “green stuff”as recommended by yourselves has resulted in a great reduction in brake dust deposition on my wire wheels and also has taken the stopping power to another level. Coopercraft brake upgrades are certainly not the cheapest on the market but i feel you get a vastly superior product that is worth every penny you spend.

Thank you very much. The brakes now are just as they should be.
Relatively light pedal with the travel much reduced travel from the way it was, progressive and firm. The car drives straight and true, the weaving and twitching has gone – not surprising now that all the suspension parts are secure. I’ll return to the differential again after the new correct oil has had some use.
Best wishes,

Hello
Many years ago i installed in my jaguar XK 150 your complete set of brakes – still working perfect !!

Dear Mr Cooper,
Just a note to thank you for the work you did on my 3.8 Mk2. It’s going really well and a pleasure to drive, with the vibration from the prop shaft and the fluffing from the exhaust from the air leak gone. Also, I can’t believe its not dropping oil anymore! I’d got so used to it over the years I’d given up on it.
The fine weather has given me the chance to get about a bit, more than it has for ten years or so. The more the engine gets used the better it gets. I might even exceed 1000 miles!
anyway, thanks once again for transforming the car.

‘Hi, we fitted the new calipers and bedded in new Mintex 1144 pads all round. The rears squeal a little under light load.
I used the car in a sprint day at Eastern Creek and they worked very nicely, definitely more bite at the front than previously. There is a total saving of 7 Kgs over the 4 pot XJS calipers I previously used. ‘
