• Non-directional brake surface for versatile installation

Product Details and Specifications

The DuraGo BR900514 rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a balance of durability and thermal conductivity essential for braking components. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, helping to dissipate heat generated during braking and reducing the risk of brake fade. The drum-in-hat configuration integrates a parking brake drum, making it compatible with vehicles equipped with rear drum parking brakes.

With an outside diameter of 12.76 inches (324 mm) and a mounting bolt hole pattern of 5 holes spaced on a 4.72 inch (120 mm) circle, this rotor is specifically designed for Chevrolet Caprice and Pontiac G8 models. The nominal thickness of 0.87 inches (22 mm) ensures structural integrity, while the discard thickness of 0.79 inches (20 mm) indicates when replacement is necessary to maintain safe braking performance.

Compatible Vehicles and Common Applications

• Replacement rotor for Chevrolet Caprice rear disc brake systems
• Suitable for Pontiac G8 rear brake assemblies with drum-in-hat rotors
• Addresses issues such as brake rotor warping and uneven wear
• Helps resolve brake noise caused by worn or damaged rotors
• Restores proper braking performance and pedal feel

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR900514 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of rust or debris to promote proper fitment. Verify the rotor thickness before installation and replace if below the discard thickness of 0.79 inches (20 mm). Use proper torque specifications for the 5 mounting bolts to avoid rotor distortion. Since this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring, confirm compatibility with your vehicle’s ABS system. The non-directional design allows installation on either side without concern for rotor orientation.
