| Post subject: | two part vs. unicast rotors 65-72 |
I am attempting to refurb a KH SBP disc system. I have read there are two different rotors a unicast and a two piece. I think I have the two piece since it appears the hub is a separate part from the rotor. My two issues are identifying which rotor I have and separating the hub from the rotor - I see where the wheel lug studs are press fit to the hub. But is there also a press fit between the rotor and the hub around the inner bearing? If anyone has a pictures of the hub and rotor apart on a 65-72 I would like to see them. Thanks. |

The uni-cast rotor was used from 73. It also utilized a single piston sliding caliper. |

To seperate the rotor from the hub you just pound out the studs. Nothing else is holding the rotor to the hub. Both bearing races (inner/outer) are press-fit into the hub. As Sandy mentioned, the only rotor used with the KH setup was two piece. |

Sorry to hear you have KH brakes. I only say that because I just went through mine for the first time a few months ago myself with all new/rebuilt stuff. DAMNED expensive parts, WHEN you can find them. Sorry, I don't have any pictures, but if you run into trouble finding parts (like the little anti-rattle clips), '68 Mustangs used the same disk-brake setup, and several parts are interchangeable. For what I spent, I almost wish I'd started with a drum brake car to begin with and just converted to disks... Sorry to be so negative, but I'm still a little bitter. Hope this helps. VM |

FYI, rockauto.com lists new rotors (w/o hub) for $71 ea, and loaded calipers for $88 ea (+ $30 core). I agree they are not the easiest/cheapest. Lou |

I read the Tom Condran book before I started this disc brake conversion so I knew pretty much what I was in for. The only way to get the "stock look" have a factory sway bar and keep the small bolt pattern wheels was to go with the KH 4 piston setup. I knew the parts were not the cheapest - It does appear they are available at a price. I had this setup on a 340 Duster previously and it served very well. It will be alot more than I will need on the 61 valiant it is going on. Thanks for the help on the two part rotor issue and the rotor/hub attachment issue - I sure plan to take some pictures if I can get the 30+ year old rust to let loose and I get the hub off the rotor. |
