The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Part# for 6 Hole Rotor Pattern for Disc Conversion

Gentlemen!
I've read numerous post, but do seem to see anything on specific rotors. I looking to do the disc conversion on my 52, have the hubs out and wold like todrop into a 6 hole pattern rotor?

Any parts numbers? truck/car years to use? caliper/rotor set-up which works the best?

Thanks Guys!

Here is a 6-lug kit. Check to see if it works with original rims.

Maybe someone who has done this will respond.

Thanks for the kit info TC, I have looked at this. Looking for an exact rotor to use to accept the 6 lugs!

" . . . uses the rotors and calipers from a '73 to '77 mid-size GM passenger car (Chevell, Tempest, etc...) to convert from Drum Brakes to the Modern Disc brakes . . . "

Michael,

Have you contacted Classic Parts of America? They are helpful people who can most likely quickly and correctly answer your question (even if you do not buy the kit from them). Tell them you are considering their kit but want to be able to spec out the total cost of additional parts.

All the six bolt rotors are drilled from blanks and as I see only sold in kits so far. once GM went to disc on trucks they went to five bolt, except four wheel drive and then you have a whole nother hub. thats what I had to do for my 51 Chevy.

'88-'09 Silverado uses a hat style 6 lug rotor, 4x4 '88-'98, all after '99. The '88-'98 should fit ok in a 15" wheel (not sure about a stock wheel on that) the later ones will require at least a 16" wheel.
