Topic: 1968 San Jose GT 390 Front Rotors

As always you want to cast a wide net when looking for a part like this. The rotors were shared with many other Ford products and sometimes there are fewer people looking for them in those sites and communities since often not as many of those owners care about being original or willing to swap out for a new aftermarket

Great point Jeff. I will continue to expand my search. Is there a list or way to know which aftermarket parts are acceptable or recommended vs parts that need to be original.

Obviously some original parts are very hard to come by, unless you find NOS parts for things Like: Exhaust, Brake Pads, Oil & Air Filters, Spark Plugs etc. Some of these parts may be too expensive or hard to locate for some. Obviously there are lots of people who are opting for new aftermarket parts for some of these reasons

Fortunately there are good reproductions here now and other new ones entering the market all of the time for some items like exhaust, oil filters.The appearance of many after market brake pads can be modified to look like assemblyline once installed. Chris Brown is coming out with a excellent repro of the C7 / FA41 assemblyline air filter for example. Genuine Autolite BF42 sparkplugs are still relatively plentiful and obtainable .

Thanks Bob that is great news

Raybestos still makes the two-piece rotor.

Thanks I went to the website which rotors were you referring to

I'd have to go look at my receipts. It's been a while. You will have to pull the studs back in to retain the hubs.
