Post subject:  5x4 Brake Rotors Out of Production?
Hi Folks,

I was lucky enough to find a pair of spindles and hubs to for my 1968 Valiant to convert it to the K-H disc brake setup. Unfortunately, after trying to order them from RockAuto.com, Checker, and Autozone, it appears that this part number has fallen off the world. :( Does anyone have a resource for new ones or perhaps a useable pair of front rotors? I have the dinky 5x4 pattern, and the rotors slip onto the hubs. You know, those things you've been using as a doorstop. I hope to find the dimensions and be able to modify another application to fit by drilling the smaller bolt pattern, etc.

Thanks for any advice.

Quinn

I bought new K-H rotors from Autozone on 03/15/05 and the part number was 352174 5384 and cost $78.90 apeice. I dont remember having any trouble getting the rotors but had a little trouble getting the calipers.

The local Pep Boys (Burbank) actually had them in stock about five months ago when I was looking. I ended up not getting them and going with the big bolt pattern conversion. I am pretty sure they were Raybestos and probably left overs, not a standard item for them anymore. No pads or calipers though. Try to get North American parts. There are plenty of junk rotors being sold everywhere these days, lifetime warranty or not.

Parts America is where I ordered mine a couple years ago -
They still have the Raybestos ones (PN 76739) listed at ~$90
and 3 days before ship.

I hate how catalogues like that are inconsistent - I look up 69 Dart and it shows that part # for the rotors, 71 duster shows up nothing.

SSBC, an aftermarket company listed in mopar magazines (andin the PAW
catalog which I am looking at) makes a conversion kit for small bolt pattern 5x4. They have rotors- dont know if they are stock orignial types
or aftermarket. PAW is 818-678-3000
Ask about part no. SBC-A153, a kit which seems to include the rotors.

Hello folks,

I did manage to track down a pair of 5x4 front rotors for my 68 Valiant. Using the excellent advice from SlantSix.org, I contacted Centric Parts (now known as CenTec, and found alocal retailer in Albuquerque. In fact, they had them on hand three days after I ordered them.

They were $38 each, but I could have paid $124 for the 'performance' pair. Turns out both are made in China, but other than some vague opinion about the quality of the iron, there did not seem to be much difference. It seems that several domestic parts makers have merged and discontinue the old parts no one but me buys any more.

I'm grateful for the leads I found nowhere else but on SlantSix.org. I am planning to buy the calipers next month from RockAuto.com, hoping they aren't also discontinued at that point. At a $138 each, I have to wait for the car fund to recharge.

Cheers,

Quinn :D
