Yes the rotors are still a problem, but there is something out there that could be made to fit.. I am sure

Some more brake work. The calipers cleaned quite well except one bore where a piece of the wall close to the seal is missing. Might still work but isn't that nice at all

Rotors for '67 / '68 Toronado and Eldorado

Lets make a big leap forward...... I got some disc brake parts from my friend Nico . The less desirable '67 4 piston calipers with knuckles, hubs and ONE rotor. I will take this as a challenge. First of all a proper set of 4 piston fixed calipers is race technology compared to soccer mum's one pisto...

and that non stick pan reminds me of a nice steak...

The timing set is a cloyes true roller setup with several keys for degreeing the cam
