• Rust resistant coating to reduce corrosion
• Solid rotor design, non-vented and non-directional brake surface
• Overall diameter of 10.51 inches (267 mm) with 5 mounting bolt holes
• Nominal thickness of 0.55 inches (14 mm) and discard thickness of 0.5 inches (12.8 mm)
• Compatible with Ford Mustang vehicles requiring a conventional disc brake rotor

Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR54017-01 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a balance of durability and effective heat management during braking. Its solid rotor design means it is a conventional, non-vented rotor, suitable for applications where vented rotors are not required. The rotor features a rust-resistant coating that helps protect against corrosion, extending the rotor's service life and maintaining consistent braking performance.

With an outside diameter of 10.51 inches (267 mm) and a nominal thickness of 0.55 inches (14 mm), this rotor meets the specifications needed for proper fitment on Ford Mustang models. The 5 mounting bolt holes with a bolt circle diameter of 114.3 mm ensure secure installation. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing rotor corrosion and surface rust affecting braking efficiency
• Resolving brake noise issues related to uneven rotor wear
• Upgrading from damaged or undersized rotors to restore proper braking
• Ensuring compatibility with Ford Mustang brake systems requiring solid rotors

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR54017-01 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris to promote proper rotor seating. Verify the rotor thickness before installation to confirm it meets minimum specifications. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side without concern for orientation. Use the correct torque specifications for the 5 mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

DuraGo manufactures this rotor to meet OEM standards for fit and function on Ford Mustang vehicles. The rust-resistant coating provides additional protection against environmental factors. While specific warranty details are not provided, DuraGo products typically come with a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
