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 |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) Readers Digest Version:
Not interchangable due to offset and the later models having the centering ring. You can see in the 5-lug conversions that we do there's an additional $35.00 tacked on the later model rotors. This is to machine off the centering ring so 5-lug Fuchs will mate up. |
