Re: More on Disk swap on 72 Gremlin

A: I used '83 Eagle wagon rotors on my '86 Comanche (which had an '87 4 cyl 
front axle) I think the floating rotor design is far simpler and easier to 
use. I almost used some spares on the last Rambler wagon I had, but I didn't 
have time to make brackets, so I fixed the original drum/drum setup instead 
(had a parts car given to me so it was easier at the time)

according to my amc parts books, for 01/40/60- not eagle 30 series:
Calpers for 79/80 4 and 6 are the same.( L and r are differnet of course)
79 and 80 4 cylidner rotors are the same part number. $140 bucks in 1987
79 and 80 6 cyl rotors are the same part number. $120 in 1987.(different 
from 4 cyl.
79 4cyl pads are one number. 80 4cyl is another.
79 6 cyl, except amx is another part number, and it subs up to 80 pacer 60 
series.
79 amx is another number, and subs up to the  # for 80 6 cyl for 01/40/30.
80 pacer 60 is different than  80 01/40/30.
My AIMPCO barke parts book basicall lists the 4 cyl pad as D90, the 6 cyl as 
D91 with a diffentialtion of some being semi metallic, versis organic, I 
guess.
rotors are 5106 for 6 cyl 79-83, eagle 80-88 5108.
rotors are 5112 for 4 cyl 78-81.
rotors for 77- 78 6 cyl is 5103.
javelin 71-74 and 74 ambo rotor with K-H is 5101. 74 ambo wiht bendix is 
5102.
what were the rotors that are sadi to be hard to get or expensive? let me 
know i want to check with my vendor. mabye this info might help, or confuse, 
who knows. regards, Ken,
