1976 Chieftain Rotors ... Source? Expected Cost?

[JessEm]

Does anyone have a good source for front brake rotors? How much can I expect to pay? Thanks.

I tried looking in the source section but I couldn't find anything about rotors.

Well I think I got my answer from doing a search. ... It looks like only one place has them and they're definitely not cheap.

Thanks ramit but I'm not seeing anything for my chassis. I believe it's a M400... Am I missing something?

When Dodge first produced the new RM chassis the designation was RM300, RM350, and RM400.  In 75 Dodge redesignated these to (retroactive to 73):

RM300 = M300
RM350 = M400
RM400 = M500

Many aftermarket parts manufactures set everything up using the old model numbers

So, for a M400 chassis rotor search for RM350 (dual piston caliper)

For a M300 chassis (single piston caliper): http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=rm350+rotor&_sop=15&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xrm300+rotor&_nkw=rm300+rotor&_sacat=0

Now fronts are different braking systems and parts are not interchangeable so make sure which chassis you have.

That's money DAVE!!!!!!!!!!! If I'm not mistaken, my chassis manual makes references to my chassis as both RM350 and M400... I'm not there to check it right now but I will tomorrow...

BOOM! $75 bucks each delivered to my door from New York. The other quotes I had were $150 and $170 each. That's real money I saved because of this forum/Dave.

I will be taking looking for the next opportunity to make some kind of monetary contribution to this forum. I know there's manuals and such for sale here, I just have to figure out what would be useful...
