    Hey guys, maybe you can help me out on this one.

    I am getting ready to do the disc brake conversion on my jeep and have been gathering all the parts I need, but I can't seem to find any rotors. The parts fellow at my FLAPS is having trouble finding the 1 1/8 thick rotors. The parts books don't seem to specify whether they are thick or thin. I have been looking at the Raybestos web site (supplier for my FLAPS) but it is just confusing.

    Anybody happen to know the right part number, Or maybe be able to decipher the Raybestos web site for me?

    I just ordered a set from NAPA (not cheap), part # 86293. Good luck!

    Thanks!!!!
    I also heard some rumors that ford rotors might work. Wonder if there is any truth to this?

    Could be true. When I was rebuilding my brake caliper I found "FORD" stamped on the inside of the piston.

    I think the thick, 1 1/8" inch rotors were on both '77 & '78.
