Perhaps they changed in late 69. There were some changes during the
model year that tell me my 69 is an early one. For example, no
headrests on the 2 door. These came later. The relay for the
headlight doors is different, I had to replace mine.
By the way, the 69 FSM says that due to the close tolerences, the
rotors CAN NOT be turned & must be replaced if they are bad. I'm
really curious now about your staement that the thickness is shown in
the 67 FSM, since the rotors are the same. I wonder why they changed
their position on these?
