My eBay Loaded calipers showed up yesterday.
They are exactly what I expected and will work on the 82-83 AMC cars as I suspected.
Anyone planning on useing these year brake should grab up a set as you can't beat the price for loaded Calipers. Mine came in at $35 delivered for BOTH calipers,pads,bolts,springs! NO core charge either!
Anyone need them search out Jeep calipers and they will come up. I can get the link if needed. The seller does not list them as fitting the AMC cars, just mid eighties XJ's. Those of us who shop this stuff know the interchange is there! :]
  Now If I could just get this stupid weight restriction off of me I could get them fitted out and mocked up. I'm dieing to see if these calipers on a 68 drum spindle with a 99 WJ 12" rotor [redrilled to 4.5" pattern] will clear 15" wheels.
  I'm also really itching to get back to work on these cars! any kind of activity would do at this point AAAAAARARRRRRRGAGAGAGAGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!

 People 
can
say what they want about the 1971 and 72 seasons being
given to
Penske/Donohue/AMC because the other factories pulled
out of TA racing, 
but
I think it was more that GM and Ford knew there was no
way they could 
beat
the unfair advantage that Penske/donohue/AMC had put
together and so
therefore chose to withdraw from what they knew they
couldn't win and 
maybe
save a little bit of embarrassment.
What do you think?

Armand

Well, I think Ford proved their point by winning the
hotly contested 1970 season.  They could win with Bud
Moore and their 302 engines which were more "factory"
than the destroked 360 AMC motors.  I'm not a big Ford
fan but you have to face facts.  The 302 was/is a good
motor and a good idea.  Big pistons, short stroke. AMC
missed the boat with their 304.

Just my opinion, mind you.

Jag rear ends are often used under hotrods in this part of the world I
recall they are pretty heavy and the inboard disk brakes are a bear to
work on you may well have to drop the rear end to do so Info based on
hearsay from a discussion with a good jag mate in the 80's 
Stu

---------------------------
The Jag axle is heavy, but it's not a great deal heavier than a live
axle with leaf springs. Coil springs are a bit lighter. Somewhere around
100-150 pounds heavier. But it decreases unsprung weight, which improves
handling and ride. 

Yes and no on the brake problem. The calipers and pads can be easily
changed. The pads are held in by easily removed pins. You have to climb
under, but if it's mounted like mine on a crossmember and not in the
stock Jag "cage" they are easy to get to with the car on a lift or jack
stands. As for ease it's a todd up -- jack the car up and crawl under,
but no wheels to remove. Now the rotors are a totally different story!
To change those the axle has to come out. I remove the crossmember. The
whole assembly is easier to remove and install than a live axle with
leaf springs or a four link. About the same as a 63-66 torque tube axle.
Disconnet a few things then jack the car up and slide out!

Now I don't know what I have except a nice model of a Javelin from ERTL on a 
pedestal and in a clear plastic case.
