So, that would mean that as of that date, Durabrake had some left over from what they made for us. Check with them.
In the August 2006 issue of the WPC News there's an ad for "Brand new rotors manufactured to OEM specifications." $179 plus $8 shipping each. Contact Shaun Shroff at 650-210-9315 x 109, or fax 650-210-9311, or email
