OK... I have made a decision. I will keep the originals rotors and hubs and find another set of hubs to attach to my new rotors.

I have looked very where for hubs. Anyone know where to get these? I actually have the need for several small parts that are not listed on any of the sites I have visited.

1) Hubs used/ new
2) Rubber seat stops
3) Manual rollup windows. The piece that the handle connects too (has splines) has a pin on the end of it. The pin is broken and I need a new one or a used piece.
4) Rear tail light outer chrome ring. Just the ring as the light is perfect.

When I was first looking there was a guy that had tons of old used corvette parts that appeared to be his backyard. I have looked everywhere to find him again.

Being a newbie I don't know all the good places to go for stuff like this. Sorry to be a bother

 

Never a bother to ask questions!

I think I can help you here.
2) Try Volunteer Vette Productions. It seems like IH26T and IH27A are what you need.
3) if you mean the hand crank with the black plastic *****, go to an auto parts store that carries the HELP line of miscellaneous replacement parts. They have pretty good reproductions of the handle and ****. Some of the ***** are clear plastic, but I was able to find two with black *****. The ***** are slightly thinner than the OEM *****, but most people won't notice that.
Hope this helps.

 

I GET A LOTS OF PARTS FROM CORVETTE CENTRAL, LOOK THEM UP ON YOUR COMP.

 

Just to be clear, you will still need to correct runout with a new rotor and a new hub. Very different than a modern car where such a thing is not required.

 

Only a suggestion: return or sell your cross drilled rotors. No swap to make; no used hubs to attempt to locate; no runout problems to contend with.

Use the money for other parts.

 

The search functions suck, our hard working moderators have said as much.

If you don't want to help then don't

 

I really like this forum and use it frequently but I have had little luck searching in the forum. When I have a question I Google it and nearly
every time it will direct me to the question I asked in the forum. Just sayin

 

Even the mods have admitted the search function here sucks, I've tried several time since there are those here whose first response to a question is to do a search but all I usually get is stuff that has little to nothing to do with what I want to know. Some here are more than willing to answer questions without telling you to use the search or to buy an AIM

 

Absolutely!!!!
I graduated from Thomas Jefferson HS in San Antonio in 1960

 

I'm a transplant, been here since Nov. 0f 2009, the Army moved me here from DC, was glad to get the hell out of that crap hole!

 

Wonder how the OP made out with his brakes............

 

I went to HS there but I was from Silver Spring, MD. I lived with my brother on Kelly AFB and met my girlfriend/wife who lived on Lackland.
We now live in Easton, MD. And we moved to Easton to get away from the Washington suburbs.

 

Bluefalcon1, many years ago, before the Corvette Forum was started, I bought a set of slotted and dimpled rotors for my '73. The car had close to 40k miles on it and I decided it was time to upgrade my brakes. Believe it or not, back then they were considered an upgrade... go figure. I drilled out the rivets, removed the original rotors and installed the new ones and some Hawk pads. Remarkably, I had no problems and the brakes have performed well since. I was born lucky I guess.

Since the original rotors looked good, there were no grooves worn in them like often seems to happen and they had so few miles, I decided to save them for another project, another day. I bead blasted them, painted them with some cast blast paint and put them on a shelf. After doing all of that, I decided what the heck, I'll mic them just to see how much material was remaining on them. The minimum acceptable thickness is actually stamped in the outer edge of the rotor. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that one of them was below the minimum acceptable thickness and the other was barely above it.

Because our brake calipers are fixed calipers, not floating calipers like the majority of vehicles on the road today, rotor run out is much more of a concern for us. It is a topic that gets a lot of discussion every time the subject of brakes comes up. Make no mistake, it should be considered any time rotors are changed on a fixed caliper brake system. It is involved, takes a bit of time and requires a few specialized tools. The shims are inserted over the studs between the rotor and the hub. Once any run out of the rotor is corrected with shims, the rotor is now "indexed" to that hub and it should be marked. If the rotor is later removed it must be reinstalled on the same position on the hub or you will need to re-verify the run out.

Before you throw in the towel on your new rotors, or think of buying new hubs, read through this article. The subject of rotor run out is discussed in depth and without a lot of emotion. It may be something you want to undertake yourself. http://www.hendonpub.com/resources/a...etails?id=1787

Good luck... GUSTO
