Rotors for vacuum disk brakes
My 1978 31'Excella needs a brake job. Andy at Inland graciously provided the pads some time ago and I've been holding them for now. Vacuum disks stop the trailer faster than the two vehicle, and I am recluctant to dump them for many reasons.
My plan is to replace as much of the rubber as possible, replace the pads, and, if possible, get new rotors. The rotors have five lugs, and I'll bet they came off a fairly common mid-late 70's car. Does anyone know what car, or must I shuffle through the shelves of a friendly auto parts house until I (hopefully) find them. I can turn the existing rotors of course, but they will almost certainly be thinner than spec.
Te alternative seems to replace the axles. Expensive and unneeded now. Experienced advice deeply appreciated.
