Re: IML: Brake Disc for a 1967

[Mike Pittinaro <mechimike@xxxxxxxxx>]

You have run into the achilles (sp? I'm not good at
Greek!) heel of the 67/68/69 vintage Imperials.  These
discs are extraordinarily rare.  If you come by a good
used one (always check with a vernier calipers, a
surface profilometer, and your eyeballs!) snap it up;
if you find a NOS or new one for less than a week's
wages, its a steal.  Scour ebay; one might come up
every few months or so.  As far as I last knew, Frank
Mitchell has the last remaining NOS ones, and he's
asking I think $400 each for them.  

Your main alternative is to convert to rotors from an
'87 Toyota Supra, which are readily available for
about $20 each.  The main modification necessary to
make the Supra rotors work is to have the hub (what
the studs attach to) face machined down approximately
1".  The details of the conversion I wrote up after
performing it to my (now deceased) 67 Crown about 3
years ago.  They should still be available on the IML
website.
