So far in my cart I have:

Two brand new stock rotors
Two new pair of calipers
Prop valve
Pads


What else am I missing?

Do the rotors come with grease seals and races installed?

Also does any auto parts store sell the prop valves?

The rotors come with outter races, used for machining purposes only. I have heard of guys using them with their new bearing sets, but I've always beat in the races that come with the bearings. You'll need caliper brackets and spindles, either disc spindles or modify yours. All the hydraulic stuff is up to your individuat setup.

I forgot to mention I have a set of spindles already w/the backing plates from a donor car and I also have the hydraulic rubber hose that connects to the caliper with the little brackets that mount to (I think) the frame.

I also have the bearings which look to be in good shape as well as the castle nuts from the spindles. I know I'll need new cotter pins though.

Basicly I got the whole front spindle set up complete but I removed the rotors as they are too thin to be turned and the calipers are questionable so I'll be replacing those too.

I'm still wondering about the inner races and the grease seals and who carries prop valves.
