Good question Tim, as I have contemplated the same. The topic has me wanting to offer up a FB ad I could act on myself, but chose not to. There is a complete disc brake with 2 piece rotors and appears to be N44 arms on FB off a 69. What I saw right- steering box, all linkage, including idler arm that looked correct, 2 piece rotors, upper A arms, N44 ( pitman looked short and I did not ask for numbers). Has hard to come by clips on hoses to attach to A arms. Looks like original hoses, too. Wrong: calipers, upper ball joints replaced, everything a little crusty. PM and I’ll try and get you hooked up with seller.

I got the cheap Rightstuff rotor assm. I just used the rotors & my original hubs. If you put 3 lug nuts on the studs it will give you 3 flat areas to put in the vise so you can torque the 5 attaching bolts to 65 foot pounds. Didn't think about balancing. We'll see what happens...Joe

HBC USA made rotor
 
Another consideration.

A few more $$, but this is a good quality USA made reproduction that I used a few times.

Napa used to carry the rotors. The last set I bought was in 2015. They were made in USA (at least it was on the box). Exact as originals too!

I'd even be inclined to check them (or take a light cut) on a brake lathe after all was pressed back together.

I started doing that with front drum brakes to eliminate any sort opportunity for a pedal pulsation.

Thanks Mike, so you used both rotors and hubs? I wonder if they come already balanced.

m22mike 01-16-2020 10:08 PM

I used them as a assembly as received. I see now reason to think that they were not balanced. I would be hesitant to use cheaper chine eezz rotors on a driver.

Thanks Mike, would always spend up for quality brake and fuel system parts.

NAPA sold 2 piece rotors?? The only ones I could get were 1 piece replacements.

I ended up buying an NOS set off this site :)
