Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR54073 is a full cast, vented disc brake rotor designed specifically for Ford E-Series vans such as the E-150 Econoline, E-250 Econoline, and E-350 Club Wagon. Its cast iron construction provides the necessary strength and thermal capacity to withstand the demands of heavy-duty braking. The vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup and helping to maintain consistent braking performance during extended use.

This rotor features a drum-in-hat design, integrating the parking brake drum into the rotor hat, which simplifies installation and maintenance. With an outside diameter of 12.83 inches and a nominal thickness of 1.18 inches, the BR54073 meets OEM specifications for these Ford models. The rotor includes eight mounting bolt holes arranged on a 6.5 inch bolt circle diameter, ensuring proper fitment and secure attachment.
