Technical Description and Specifications

This disc brake rotor is engineered for vented operation, featuring straight vanes that facilitate efficient heat dissipation during braking. The rotor's nominal thickness of 1.028 inches ensures durability, while the discard thickness of 0.965 inches indicates when replacement is necessary to maintain safe braking performance. The smooth surface finish promotes even pad wear and consistent braking feel. The rotor mounts directly to the hub with a 5-lug pattern, 0.500 inch stud diameter, and a 4.5 inch bolt circle diameter, matching the specifications for Ford Ranger and Mazda B-Series trucks including B2500, B3000, and B4000 models.
