good pics andy thanks
my stuff looks just like that but the kit i got from wards seems to have two extra long springs that i don't know what to do with
unless they are only used on the jag set up
there were some springs on it when i took it apart which seemed to hold the h/brake calipers off
but they were obviously the wrong ones and now i have 2 that i don't know how to fit
not to mention having to make new brake lines to fit the remote bleed kit

They may be return springs, I have seen these fitted to the Jag IRS. There is a hole in the end of each arm where the hanbrake caliper fits,and the other end of the spring its mounted on the diff cradle somewhere .Only seen this on Jags though,nothing like this on my 400.

that would seem to answer that then - thanks andy
someone must have bodged on some return springs in the past
i guess if everything is working properly they are unnecessary

You seem to have that one wrapped up now but if you want a scan of the relevant page of the XJ Haynes fables drop me a line.
