So I think Theyre warped 
again. I had them turned 
right after I bought it 8 
years ago, but I m not 
sure if I can get them 
turned again. I think I ll 
just go with new rotors if 
I can find them. Plus I 
think the back drums are 
getting thin.

concern is my radiator. I 
found a kinda new one on 
Ebay I cant wait to 
install. It is a litttle 
one, but It will work 
until I can get the big 
one recored.

I drove my friends 79 
Concord sedan with non 
power brakes. After I 
parted the car out a few 
years later I installed 
the Concord rear with it's 
larger rear drum brakes 
and the front discs in my 
74 Hornet. What a 
difference even though I 
used the stock 74 drum 
brake master and booster. 
I did add an adjustable 
proportioning valve 
though. This is about as 
direct comparison of power 
versus non power as you 
can get. Give me power any 
day.

Luke I had no trouble 
finding new Kelsey Hayse 
rotors for my orange 74 
Hornet at y local auto 
parts store, but that was 
4 years ago and they were 
kind of of expensive. But 
not nearly as expensive as 
the same rotors from 
Kennedy American. But then 
again they were still 
cheaper than the 10 inch 
drums if you had to 
replace them/
