Detailed Product Description

The Raybestos Element3 682686FZN disc brake rotor is constructed from cast iron, providing a balance of strength and thermal conductivity essential for braking efficiency. Its vented design enhances airflow to reduce heat buildup during braking, which helps maintain consistent stopping power and reduces the risk of rotor warping. The smooth surface finish ensures even brake pad wear and quiet operation. With a nominal thickness of 1.299 inches and a discard thickness of 1.181 inches, this rotor offers a reliable service life while meeting Ford Transit specifications.

Featuring six mounting bolt holes with a 5.197-inch bolt circle diameter and a 0.059-inch thread pitch, this rotor is designed for direct compatibility with Ford Transit-150, Transit-250, Transit-350, and Transit-350 HD models. The conventional drum-in-hat rotor type supports standard brake system configurations found on these vehicles.
