[DeTomaso] MUSTANG ROTORS - WAS: Which Loctite

[fresnofinches at aol.com]

Ian,



This is too late for your installation, but it bears repeating.



John Taphorn has reported there IS a replacement 66 Mustang rotor that

is still supplied as a two piece unit. Hub/hat unit and a separate rotor, the

two of them held together with the wheel studs.



This is an important design detail. Read on. 



He further states that the shoulder size for the studs in this unit is the same

as the stock Pantera metric studs. Thus, you remove the metric studs from

your OEM rotor, remove the SAE studs from the new rotor,? and swap your

stock studs to the new assembly.

Your only mismatch will be the Pantera hub dust cover does not fit the
Mustang hub.? 



This item is supplied/made by Wagner. They are an old time USA brake system

parts manufacturer, and no doubt tooled up for these Mustang units decades

ago, unlike the new China manufacturers. To save costs, the China units are

all one-piece hub/rotor pieces. Likewise, to save costs, Wagner continues to

make theirs as two piece units - as originally supplied by Ford on the Mustang.



Additionally, John says the separated rotors can, with perhaps some minor

caliper grinding, be a direct swap for the REAR rotors, too. John has done

this install personally.



I have four of these sitting on the shelf, and hope to do the install this winter.



Wagner part # is 60209. Made in the USA!!

TWO of these to my CA address for $145.89 - not each,? but BOTH. 

Required dust covers are DORMAN # 13975:? $2.98 each.
