What rotor did you use? I have found multiple calipers that will work, but it seems like all the rotors with the right size "hat" are too big OD, and rotors with reasonable OD's have too small of a hat. I have spent some serious time at pick & pull lately, and haven't found one that will work. Anyone know of one that will? Thanks,

Eric

I have Boyce Equip's kit, it uses a 1/2ton chevy rotor/caliper. Of course, the rotor is redrilled to fit the pinio flange bolt pattern.


Good Luck!

I once used a 1/2 ton chevy rotor and caliper, redrilled the holes and welded it to the yoke.

Thanks very much guys. I was way off. I was measuring minivan rotors, full size van rotors, 3/4 ton p/u rotors, I measured a few midsize car rotors, everything that wouldn't work! I realize I have to re-drill, I just couldn't find anything that would accomidate the 5-1/2"+ diagonal on the rockwell flange that didn't have a huge OD. I'll go back with this info and find something that'll work for sure. Thanks again. :)
