Think is jaguar xj6/xjs stuff at the back and should help to find the right kit.

As mentioned before:
Had severe lockup and binding brakes and as the calipers were not expensive, also went for refurbished ones.
Think replacement calipers is about double the price of a kit.
But your choice of course if you want to refurbish them yourself.

I can't tell you which one to order but here's photo's of mine that I've just stripped. It may help BR identify what you need. These are off a 1982 FHC. Let me know what to order if you get sorted!

There are two caliper types - one has the seal with its lip fitting in a groove in the caliper, held in by the piston, the other type has the seal fitting outside, with the wire ring to retain it.
The kit I got was for both types.

How do I know this ? My wedge had one of each type of caliper......
