    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Rotor restoration question

Hello there I am restoring my 82 wheels to 83 wheels. I found some rotors I am going to clean and paint. Does anyone know if the front and rear rotors and basically the same? Thanks much Brian
 
The 3 rotors have different part #'s... LH vs RH fronts is probably the direction the slotted holes are angled. Guessing the rear is different size, shape, or possibly off set.
 
The only possible problems I can think of with using a front on the rear is heat/fade (less metal to soak it up) and also possibly a very worn set of pads could have room to fall out beside the rotor followed possibly by the piston hitting the rotor on the next pump....
 
Having trouble finding service limits for these rotors. But if the rear is originally thicker, wondering if when rear reaches its service limit, if it will be still within the service limit for the front?
 
Where did Grand Rogue go, didn't he say he was using a front on his rear... Where'd he go, he had 2 posts in this thread a while ago.
 
Hey...sheesh......edited my first post in this thread...and poof....all disappeared. Aaargh.

Anyway....offsets are same. Front rotor on rear AOK. 4.5MM and 6MM are minimums. Brakes operate beautifully. EBC pads F and R.

I shall not edit this ;-))
