Reply to "USING MUSTANG ROTORS"

Here my ongoing nightmare experience with the Wagner rotors:

I purchased a set of the Wagner BD60209 rotors twice. The first time they came in as a one piece rotor. The second time they were two piece but the disc was .91" thick. The stock Pantera rotor is .81 thick. The .91" rotors are too thick and the caliper will not fit on them. So I called Wagners tech line and they said the 60209 is for a'68 Mustang. He said the BD60208 were the right ones. They are a two piece seperate hub and rotor and the disc is .81" thick. So I ordered those. They came in .81" thick but one piece and made in China. I won't put cheap ass made in China rotors on my car, so they got returned.

My parts guy said he located some BD60208 rotor discs only (no hub) so I have those ordered and I am going to see if I can get the Pantera hub to fit on them. It looks like I may have to widen the center hole on the Wagner disc to fit the Pantera hub, but I won't know until they come in for sure. Of course this way I can use my original detomaso lug nuts. I had to special order these so this time they are mine and not returnable. Hopefully they are right.

Today I found a company who sells Disc-Italia brand rotors and they suposedly have sloted or sloted and drilled rotors only (no hub)for the '66 Mustang. I think they were like $240/pair plus shipping. If the Wagners don't work out I will pursue these, but I will not order unless I can talk to someone who has one in his hand and can describe them and give me dimensions. But I will let everyone know what I found out either way.

I would strongly recomend that you don't order the Wagner brand rotors because you don't know what you are going to get. You may get the good two piece, but more than likely your going to get the cheap Chinese ones. You are better off going with a better quality American brand like Stainless Steel Brakes or EBC from England
