Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR901970-01 disc brake rotor is designed specifically for Dodge Hornet models requiring a 12.99 inch diameter rotor. Its full cast iron construction ensures durability and effective heat management during braking. The vented design allows air to circulate between the rotor surfaces, helping to maintain optimal operating temperatures and reduce brake fade under heavy use. A rust-resistant coating extends the rotor’s lifespan by minimizing corrosion, which is especially beneficial in humid or wet environments.

This rotor features a nominal thickness of 1.1 inches (28 mm) and a discard thickness of 1.02 inches (26 mm), providing clear service limits for maintenance. The five mounting bolt holes with a 4.33 inch (110 mm) bolt circle diameter ensure proper fitment and secure attachment to the vehicle’s hub. The non-directional brake surface allows for installation on either side without performance loss, simplifying replacement procedures.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing rotor corrosion that leads to uneven braking
• Improving brake cooling to reduce fade during extended braking
• Restoring proper rotor thickness for safe braking performance
• Ensuring compatibility with Dodge Hornet brake systems requiring a 5-bolt vented rotor

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR901970-01 rotor, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of any protective coatings before mounting. Verify the rotor thickness is within the nominal range and above the discard thickness to maintain safety standards. Use the correct torque specifications for the five mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side of the vehicle without concern for directional orientation.
