RE: [DML] Front rotor... cross reference?

["W.\"Ski\" Lukowski" <vegascop1@xxxx>]

John,

I also looked everywhere possible in the US but seems that anything to
do with front rotors and calipers is located either in the UK or
Australia???? Hmmmmm....Anyways, I still think that someone should
check this out and see if we can use it! 

http://www.godspeedbrakes.fsnet.co.uk/4_pot_conversions/capri_cort/capri
_cort.htm

Basically, as far as I got with my research is that the calipers and
rotors are from Ford Cortina ( never seen the car) and when you look at
the calipers and rotors on this site they look exactly like the ones on
the D. The problem is that the guy wont respond! Maybe someone in the UH
could possibly get in touch with this company?
So John, since we are running out of options here maybe with your
authority in the D world and heavy pull and a little luck, could
possibly research this option? 
I mean, why not upgrade the front brakes from 2 pot to four pot, have
nice thick vented rotors and cross drilled. I bet you could shortened
that breaking distance at least 25% ?

Thnx for considering and if anyone has a 2 cents to add, lets hear it...

Travis, I said I couldn't break the set right now. I'm checking my
sources for rotors and at this time my sources have none in the U.S. As
soon as I source them I will be happy to make extra for the front. I
just don't have any extra at this time. John Hervey

I got a call from John Hervey and he said he couldn't sell me the
cross-drilled PowerStop rotors unless they are a complete set. All I
need (and can afford at the moment) are the fronts.

Has anyone put on the PowerStops? Anyone got a part number or cross
reference?
