Needing to replace the brake rotors on my 70 AMX. Bendix 4 piston system. See them on Rock Auto and various other sites including AMC Venders priced anywhere from $30 to $125. Just wondering what is recommended. This is not going to be a daily driver restoring mostly stock but going to do some upgrades to engine. Thanks in advance for your thoughts. Robert |

I believe the vendors and RockAuto sell the same rotor....I could be wrong.
You have to re-use your hubs, and have NEW, correct studs (from the vendors) pressed in. If you do that you should be fine. Paul |

I know at least some of the vendors get there rotors from Centric, the same brand RockAuto carries.
RockAuto now shows the pads too, before you used to have to search for them under a 1969 Dodge Charger. Ramblinrev is correct, you need to use your original hubs with the original type studs. I haven't found any other studs that will work correctly yet. The only time you need a press, is to get the original studs out. Using a hammer is a risky process and can damage the holes in the hub making any stud fit loosely. Installing and removing new un-swaged studs with a punch and hammer is fairly risk free. |
