+1 for Simply Performance. They do donor packages too.
I would very strongly caution against mixing up axles.

This might help to id the parts required.

Hub Carrier changed in 1976. You could have an early one and later one.
Series II from November 1976 plus all Series III (1979-92)
Series II from November 1973 to November 1976:

I have used SNG Barretts ( make sure you check basket for VAT and shipping which all adds to the final price)  for parts in the past but a call to Edd at Ward Engineering or Ben at Simply performance will sort you out.

Ben at https://www.simplyperformance.com/ also comes up a lot as a name here - I haven't used them myself (I used Wards, many years ago) but they seem well respected.

Hi.

Just checked and it appears Ward still have a website https://www.ward-engineering.co.uk/index.htm.

There are contact details on the site.

Hope this helps.

Hi, does anyone know where you can get jaguar axle parts from?
The last time I needed anything I used Ward Engineering but I don't think they are in business anymore.

Perhaps someone may know a bit more about Jaguar axles than I do.
I have two different front stub axle carriers (other than one is OS the other NS).
One has three mounting points (12mm fine) for mounting calliper and steering arm.
The other has two smaller threads (possibly 7/16 unf) for the calliper and one (possibly 9/16 unf) for the steering arm.  Does this sound right, could it be one is a later part.

I have 4 pot callipers which fit the 12mm fine but are loose on the 7/16.
The issue I have is the threads have almost vanished in the OSF carrier and I am unable to torque the bolts up correctly.  They were so difficult to get off, probably cross threaded or just rusted, either way, they are not holding now.

I need the OSF carrier if anyone has one, alternatively a recommendation on where best to get one.
Last thing, how much would you expect to pay for a carrier / hub, I have no idea at all.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers Martin
