Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR54012 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a solid and reliable braking surface. Its vented design enhances airflow to dissipate heat generated during braking, helping to maintain consistent performance and reduce the risk of rotor warping. With a nominal thickness of 0.94 inches (24 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.87 inches (22.2 mm), this rotor meets the specifications required for safe and effective brake operation. The rotor features a 10.24 inch (260 mm) outside diameter and an overall height of 1.85 inches (47 mm), ensuring proper fitment and compatibility with the braking system of Ford Contour, Mercury Cougar, and Mystique models. The four mounting bolt holes with a 4.25 inch (108 mm) bolt circle diameter and 0.54 inch (13.7 mm) bolt hole diameter provide secure attachment to the vehicle hub.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing reduced braking efficiency due to rotor thinning
• Resolving noise or vibration issues linked to damaged rotors
• Upgrading to a vented rotor for improved heat management
• Ensuring proper rotor fitment for Ford Contour, Mercury Cougar, and Mystique vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR54012 rotor, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of any protective coatings or debris before mounting. Verify that the rotor thickness meets or exceeds the discard thickness specification of 0.87 inches (22.2 mm) to maintain safe braking performance. Use proper torque specifications for the four mounting bolts to secure the rotor firmly. Since this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring, confirm compatibility with your vehicle’s ABS system if applicable. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure optimal braking results.
