Old Man A Fre rotors alternatives (1 Viewer)

[dvoraully]

Does anyone know if there is an alternative to the old man a fre Wilwood rotors for the front disc brakes? They no longer have this style kit and I would need to change over to the new rotors and caliper brackets. The ones they have now are not the same one my cruiser has. I put a pic down of the old style kit.

They didn't make them some one else did for them. Good chance they are a modified fitment from some other rig - look GM to me.
So are the parts you need NLA?

They are 1987 through 1989 Chevy K1500 front disk rotors. They’re like $35 from Summit. You will need to find a machine shop to overbore the hub center.

They have a new kit that uses rotors with a taller hat.

The taller hat would have been great for the rear. The fronts were perfect. I ended up machining the rear caliper plates and using a thinner pad. I went with Willwood 150-8936K-BP10 pads for the Single piston GM metric calipers….they are exactly 1/2”thick. If you go to Auto-Bone, they are like 9/16” or wider.

Picture of rear brake caliper mounting after machining. As you can see, a taller hat would have made a great difference.

The rabbit fit goes around the rear axle flange.

The old one has the hub that goes in front of the rotor.

They are no longer available. I would need to change the caliper brackets and order a new set of rotors from man a fre to make my calipers work
