    It has been decades since I have messed with disc brake work. I need to do a restoration type replacement but have seen too many options!
    What is consensus on factory replacement rotors and pads?

    The replacement rotors that I installed several years ago were manufactured in the U.S. Look like orig. Seem to be quality pieces. The brake pads are semi-metallic because u cannot purchase the old asbestos pads. Replacement pads made in U.S.

    Ted,

    As far as I know '67-'69 rotors are re-proed. Pads are somewhat readily available. 4 piston calipers need to be sleeved to operate correctly. What I'm talking about here is stock OEM stuff.
    Scarebird has kits available to swap over if going that route which in the end may be more cost effective. Parts are READILY available.
    Of course I have NEW rotors for my '68 Wildcat if ever needed.
    1970 is ALL BY ITSELF. This is what I have on my '64 Riv. along with NEW OEM rotors.

    Todd Miller sells all that stuff -- He goes by ToddsGS here on the board.

    His website is www.diecastmusclecars.com

    Save a few bucks, get great customer service, and get someone who knows what he's talking about, all at the same time!

    '67 & '68 had 4 piston disk calipers, if u ordered disk brakes. 70 & up had single piston calipers.
