[DeTomaso] The final verdict-EBC rotors

[Ian H]

The EBC's are suposedly made in England, so I thought I may get lucky, but I 
guess not.

I ordered Wagner Part# BD 60209 and specified a two piece rotor for a "66 
Mustang.  Hopefully it will arrive at the parts store on Monday and I will 
find out for sure then.
