'82 corvette rotor

Hello this is my first post,

I hope this works. I have a 1982 vet that needs rotors. I ordered parts from different companies around the area but the rotors they sent me did not have the 'hub to rivet' slots or the studs attached to the rotor. I was wondering if anyone on this website have knowledge in which I can purchase or look into OEM rotors with the slots and studs.

Thank You Very Much
Sincerely,
willie

You need to drill out the rivets and remove your old rotors from the hubs. You will reuse your old hubs.

And the studs are attached to the hub. The rotor just fits over the studs. The new one does not need to be riveted.

Are you sure you need rotors? Have you checked? They may be original and old, but may not need to be replaced.

according to alldata it says my rotors need to be 1.23 inches and im at 1.21 and my boss said i should just wear the pads out and then get the new rotors. I was checking my brakes and it turns out i need new bushings, calipers, and seal bearings... great...
