A Tale of Two Front Disk Rotors 444-544

posted by  someone claiming to be Derek UK on  Thu Dec 22 13:30 CST 2005 [RELATED]

It'll be interesting to see what gets delivered. I was just about to write a few things about your conversion.
Essentially the drum/hub and the disc/hub are one piece. They are made in 2 pieces with the drum and the disc shrunk onto the hub. After this is done they are skimmed up in a lathe to get everything running true. Replacements are hard to get and expensive. There are scources here in UK/Europe for them but you need to trade in your hubs so that they can be recycled. Not sure where they are done but they are done as a batch so waiting a while isn't unusual. When the bill is likely to be $400 plus it gives you time to save up!
This link might help http://www.bearmanmotorsports.com/page4.html It's a bit more recent than Roger Portman's article.
Keep us updated.
