Default One-off brake rotors.

Hi Race Brakes,

I'm in the process of redoing the brakes on my 1985 Mazda E1800/Ford Spectron van.

The rotors (DBA part numbers 632A and 632B) Only appear to be available in standard guise. I have heard of them making "one off" sets with slots cut into the faces of the rotors.

So I guess the question is- Can DBA make a set of slotted rotors when they are commercially unavailable? And if so, am I able to obtain a set to suit my application?

Thanks in advance.
Ben

If they have the rotors it is possible they could slot them for you and i am unsure of this but some of the early models with the hubs attached to the rotors were hard to get access to to slot because the hub was so large. I can ask them for you if you wish.

Thanks FLOORED, I'd appreciate it greatly if you could look into it.

As you've mentioned, these rotors incorporate the hubs and the wheels are attached with bolts instead of studs- along with reverse threads on one side hence the separate part numbers for left and right.

Wow, that's very surprising to hear. I guess I have to decide now whether to just go without slotted rotors or possibly convert hubs from 4-6 stud.
Will DBA make more of the standard replacement discs or have they simply removed these rotors from the catalogue entirely?
Again, appreciate the responses, FLOORED.

No longer doing them and slotting is to hard as you can't get the tooling in there properly.
