Does anyone know where I would be able to purchase blank disc brake rotors for a VP Commodore, Id like to have them drilled to suit the Ford stud pattern. Our rod is using HT Holden sub frame with VP Commodore brakes, Holden 253 V8 and a M21 4 speed with a EB Ford differential.
This is why I need to have the blank rotors drilled so to match the rear end and no we can't use a Holden rear end as the Ford end is already mounted, we tried a Commodore rear end but the Ford has a much better disc brake setup and a breeze to have connected to the handbrake.

Try DBA or RDA. They may be able to do them for you for a cost? Make sure the base circle of the hub is the same as the rear first.

Bryon, Explain to me why the circle of the front discs need to be that of the rear disc's please. DBR don't have blank VP discs, Ive already phoned and asked, can't you get some rotors that the centers bolt in. Fred

The centre of the hub is where all the weight is meant to be taken. Wheel studs are only supposed to hold the wheel on. If the Commodore hub is smaller than the Ford, the wheels will go on but all the weight will be on the studs. If the Commodore hub is b |

Here is a bit of lateral thought. Why not get your EB rear axles & rotors re drilled to Commodore pattern? You might even be lucky enough to get away with just drilling your axles & using Commodore rotors with the EB brake setup (murphys law says you woul Edited by user Sunday, 7 October 2007 6:36:44 AM(UTC)

Ok I've just been out a measuring. It's easy when your daily driver is an EB and your Wifes daily driver is a VP & you just happen to have spare rear ends for both in your back yard (much to her chagrin I might add).
There is no way the Commodore re |
