I need to replace the front wheel bearings on my 70 1.7, as they are making noise, especially the driver's side.
I have a pair of rotors from my '73 car that I parted out about a year ago. They only have a few thousand miles on them and I have the bearings as well. I was thinking of just swapping them in for the rotors/bearings that I have now and I'd be done with it. However, I noticed that Pelican sells two different rotors, an early and a late. I'm wondering what the differences are, and whether I can use these rotors or not. Also, if the bearings are noisy is that a likely sign that the spindles are worn as well? -Tony |

The differance is the "hat" offset from the mounting tabs on the strut for the calipers.
The rotors will fit, but when you go to bolt the caliper back on it won't line up with the disc. Paul |
