check out this ebay item. Replacement 1967-70 2 piece rotor discs.
drilled and slotted
anyone bought these yet?

Not sure how this would work if it's not drilled for the bolts, though?? Maybe they are using a generic picture and the rotor is actually a 1 piece with the bearing hub integral??

Looks like a generic picture of a slip-on "hat" style rotor for another application... notice the ones pictured are 6-lug.
I noticed another auction appears to have some that may be more correct... it's been a while since I've had any original 2-piece rotors, so I don't remember how they bolted together.

I expect them to be one-piece replacements for the original 2-piece rotors.
Far as I know, the "real" two-piece rotors are now illegal based on Federal DOT regulations.

Not stock applications are still legal!
Do a search under this both here and over at Little Brother b/c a guy and me copying him have posted a part number for an inexpensive 1-piece cast rotor/hub that fit's the 4-piston calipers fine!

ok I talked with a guy that bought a set on ebay and he says that they were just a 1 piece replacement rotor and that he had to return them because they were not a disc for the 2 piece like he wanted.
So I guess they're not available from this company.
Misleading advertising again.........

You must have been talking to the same guy that told my friend back in 1992 that his 69 396 Chevelle was going to have to have an EGR intake manifold put on it to pass smog in the future because they were going to require it.:noway:
There's nothing illegal about running the original 2 piece rotors.
Who's going to stop you, the 2 piece rotor enforcement brigade???????:noway:

wow.. 2 piece rotors are illegal now?
so pretty much every car and truck on the road with a slip on rotor that was built in the last 15 years or so is illegal..
and i suppose every car with more than 500hp is also not street legal, too. i'm sure all those Viper and Z06 Vette owners would love to know about that.

I have been looking and tried these! Beware. The pics are generic.
I just returned two of these because they did not fit my 68 SS. I called them and explained about my factory setup, sent photos, and specified "are they a replacement disc I can bolt my hub on"? I was told yes and that they'd fit, I but was sent one piece integral hub rotors that did not work and had to return them.
This was a factory option RPO J52 for 67-68 only.
The hub unbolts from the disc. The rotor disc is then also still one piece after that. Hence two piece rotor.
For the matter of being illegal When did GM place a recall on these brakes? They owe me a new setup!!!!
You can view pics of this setup under TECH : 68 SS brakes
I'm still looking for a rotor with or without a hub, WHO has had a replacement for this besides a junkyard????
Let me know!!!

I don't think any are re-popped b/c they aren't onna the General's better ideas, just like the calipers too! Suckers have been known to come loose!!
That's why GM went 1-piece cast rotor/hub and the big, single piston calipers b/c of reliability over the long haul.

PS., I've thought about red-hot flame spraying them, then annealing them and then parallel surfacing both sides but I don't know if they can withstand being remanufactured?
