Re: More on Disk swap on 72 Gremlin

Frank: we (Jeff, Jeff and I) have a 79 Spirit Limited parts car with the Audi 4-cylinder, but it doesn't have solid rotors--it has regular vented rotors like the 6-cylinder cars.

The pistons (or whole caliper) were replaced by AMC on warranty in most cases, by the owner when they started leaking in others. If a car had been driven much they would have been replaced within a couple years at most.
