rotors
Welcome to the "Achilles Heal" of the 1967
through 1969 Imperials - the front disk brake system. Both rotor and
calipers are a problem (reliability and availability). My solution was
using Camaro (yes Chevy Camaro) rotors and 1970/73 Imperial calipers (both
items readily available). I must admit I am guilty in not doing what I
promised last fall and documenting this conversion fully (including a complete
parts list) for the Imperial web site along with detailing any issues I may
have encountered. The main reason is that I still have not completed my
2000 miles of road testing along with a final tear down and inspection that
were my prerequisites in my finalizing the documentation of this project (also
we bought a new (used) house and I have been doing many "honey do"
projects).
PS 1) My brakes are working great. 2) I had a ball
being the "pace car" (at 3 mph) for the Prospect City July 4th parade. I
really bought the car to drive the beauty queens in the parades but in this
case I got stuck with the mayor.
