'24 T-Bucket with Jaguar rear end

[JSB]

I have another issue that recently arose on the '24. First I will tell you I got the radiator situation rectified and I'll post photos at a later date.
The problem at hand is the bolts that secure the brake caliper backed out and got caught up in the rotor breaking the aluminum rotor bracket and the differential output shaft housing. I need another output shaft housing for the right side along with the appropriate bolts. I believe I can make a new rotor bracket.
I haven't taken the rear case cover off yet to see if there is any internal damage, but will be doing so.
The main thing is to positively identity the rear end and then find a supplier of parts.
I need to positively identify the jaguar rear end. I believe it to be a Salisbury 4HU, possibly form an E-Type. On the left side of the driveline portion of the case is "4HU 004". An H1 is stamped on the lower rear right corner. "63" is stamped on the bottom of the case. The gear ration is 46/13 = 3.54:1 according to the tag and another tag on the left side of the cover has 2PL, I think its a "2".
I have posted several photos and if you need more or explanations of the current, pleas let me know.

This forum might be useful. I've wandered around over there dreaming years ago.
Aside from ID, you should probably look at torque specs and assembly tips plus whatever the typical failure points are to check while you are in there.

Looks like you have a Salisbury, 61.75" from flange to flange.. I have complete rear end but would not care to break up.

Suggest you contact Curt Hamilton at Hamilton Automotive Industries in Van Nuys. CA, shop # 818.787.9695 or mobile 818.943.2323. He has done many Jag rear ends for street rods, etc.

800-444-5247 Moss Enginering sells and large assorment of parts for Jag rearends, I have bought bearings and lots of other parts from them................

Best use the holes in the bolts for safety wire, on the output and the calliper brackets... just like the factory ones. They did it for a reason.

I spoke to a guy at Moss yesterday afternoon that was very helpful, but they did not have the output shaft housing that I need. He did give me a couple of names and numbers to call that may. I have one guy, Eddie, in NJ looking for the part now.

I agree with you! The Bucket was built many years ago and is a repair nightmare. If only they have written an owner's manual and parts manual when they were building it! One thing I'll say...you're never too old to learn new tricks.

I believe I have the rear end identified after talking with the MOSS guy yesterday afternoon. It is an Salisbury E Series, First Type, Early. The parts schematic on their website verifies the internals as a match.
RodStRace sent me a link to some good information, but it covered mainly a little newer version of the rear ends.
It would be great if I could locate a service/assembly manual for the one I have. I'll have to keep searching.

This place does work, might have the part you need. This has what looks like a good article.

It has been a long road, but I think I have finally repaired/replaced everything that was wrong and/or broken!
The rear end turned out to be a 1963 Jaguar E series, Early First Type, Power-Lok, 3.54:1 gears. I contacted Moss Motors, where a very knowledgeable and helpful guy steered me in the right direction. He gave me contact information for Eddie's Restorations in NJ where I found a used inner hub assembly. Eddie was also very helpful with information about what to look out for. Moss also had the seals, gaskets, bolts, and gear oils I needed.
I made a new caliper bracket for the rear brake caliper, disassembled both sides of the rear end, and then reassembled torquing and applying lock-tight to every bolt and nut in hopes that nothing will back out again! It all went together well and so far is driving very smoothly.
Prior to all the issues with the rear end, I replaced the radiator with an aluminum radiator, with electric fan, which had to be modified for the 401 Nailhead. I also had to modify the water pump pulley to allow it to move in toward the pump 3/16" to line up with the other pulleys so all the belts are now riding on pulleys. There were several other items that I made changes to or repaired along the way, but won't take up any more space.
I have attached a few new photos of the T-Bucket.
I appreciate all your responses!

Are those tail lights LED? If not then please think about upgrading.

The taillights aren't LED, but i have considered converting them. All of the other marker lights are LED.

Happy New Year to all!

The LED's will make a big difference for rear visibility - it's a safety measure. You might even consider adding a 3rd brake light like I did. I want people behind me to See me, esp. at night!

I had those same lights at one time and then changed to light shown on the left and finally to the larger 4 inch light on the left. The amber side faces the body and really lights up the car at night.
