Re: IML: Imperial 71-73' Brake Rotors

["Frederick Joslin" <fljoslin@xxxxxxxx>]

I believe that these are one piece rotors as opposed to the two piece design of 1967-1969 which will require significantly more machining.

This may be related. I put front discs from a 1972 Fury onto a 1966 Newport. The rotors were the same casting as for the 1973 C- body brakes brakes, but were machined differently for the seal and race size and position.  

I do not know if the 73 C-body rotors are the same size as the Imperial rotors in question, but if they are it is possible that they could be re-machined to fit the Imperials. 

I paid about $150 each for the 1972 rotors that I put on the Newport which was about three times the price of the 1973 rotors.

Hello Imperial Owners,

After completing the very successful project of making the Brake Rotors for
the 1967-1969 Imperials and other C-bodies we have a request for another
rotor.

An IML member has asked me to ask for the interest in re-making the rotors
for the 1971-1973 Imperials. The terms of this rotor are pretty similar to
the last one. We would need a minimum of 50 sold before we create the
tooling for them. If the size of the rotors is the relatively the same the
price should remain the same at about $179 each plus shipping. I have heard
that these rotors go for upwards of $500 each.

Please let me know if you have an interest in these rotors and how many you
would buy (please note that a $100 per rotor deposit is necessary after we
get the commitment for 50 rotors)

Thanks and have a great weekend
