Summit Rear Disc Brake Coversion Kit 11" Rotors have 7/16 hole and I have 1/2 studs!
ANYONE PLEASE HELP!!
I have the Summit rear disc brake conversion kit for my '68 and it has 11" rotors that have 7/16 holes, but I have 1/2 inch studs! Everything else fits great, but I don't want to have to drill out the holes in the rotors everytime I get new rotors.
Does anyone know the appropriate rotor that I need!! I have searched Summit, Google (which is worthless), and all of the regular car part stores (Oreilly's, Advance, etc.).
I get mostly FRONT rotor returns. THIS IS KILLING ME AND STOPPING ME DEAD IN MY REBUILD (Pun intended, and working!)
HELP!

Drill the rotors….
Have fun if those are Cadillac metric calipers. Follow the instructions to a tee….

They are going to be 7/16 because that is standard for cars of that era. Get a cheap drill press from HF...
Big dreams, small pockets....
