[DeTomaso] Front vented roter replacments

[Garth Rodericks]

<<< There has been some research on a stock replacement front vented rotors---was it 
  successful?. Is the number/manufacture available and is there a retro-fit stock set for the 
  rears? Thanks all. >>>
   
  Mike Thomas wrote an article doing the rotor swap for POCA (I think) and here's the parts 
  list... he says they fit great?  The ones on the Stainless Steel Brakes Corp (SSBC) site that 
  Mike used are slotted and vented... not drilled.

  ParaPantera Ron installed the Mustang rotors on his Pantera. I'm sure he could tell you 
  what specific problems you might run into, if any (ParaPantera at aol.com).
   
  On 2/19/05 he posted the following to the mail list:
  "the swap was straight forward; they even use the same bearings and seals.  The only two 
  catches are you have to slightly modify a pair of $10  dust caps from the "Help" rack located 
  in about any auto parts store, and then  there is the studs.  The shank on the Mustang stud 
  is ever so slightly larger than the Pantera shank, so if you put the Pantera stud in the 
  Mustang hole, it would not "bite" enough to keep from spinning while tightening the lug nuts."

  And Mike Frazier posted about the Mustang Rotors to the mail list back in 2004. I'm sure 
  you can find his posts if you search the archives.
   
  And John Taphorn mounted the Mustang rotors to the rear of his GT5. Read about it in this 
  post: http://realbig.com/pipermail/detomaso/2007-July/086818.html
   
  Lastly, someone (I forgot who) posted that Powerslot Cryo Rotors (P/N's 8153 PSL & 8153 PSR) 
  should be a direct front rotor bolt on.
   
  Cheers!
