Topic: 1969 Brake rotors and drums

[1969CJ]

Does anyone know if any concours reproductions are being made for power disc front rotors and rear drums? I have a 1969 Mustang Mach I that I'm trying to restore concours. Build date 1/69, thanks.

Don't believe so. There was a run or two of the Boss - big suspension but those wouldn't be for your application

There have been a couple of thread discussion of aftermarket two piece rotors but those focused on earlier versions.

Same goes for rear drums - aftermarket ones are available but you would have to compare their design to originals. Of course they will not have the original markings on the outer surface. Maybe someone else has gone through this process recently and can offer their findings

Thanks Armond

You bet!   As a note I have heard that these new rotors are not balanced, but I have used a few sets and never had a problem.
