I just got my new wheels from Paradise. I'm very impressed with the quality and service. After speaking with Craig who was very helpful I decided not to attempt getting them restored due to the corrosion between the center section and rim. Better yet I got them on the East Coast in just a couple of weeks.

I purchased a steam cleaner on Amazon and it does a great job deep cleaning.

Well, this is not the news I was hoping for! That is what I get for procrastinating. Thank you for all the information.

Thanks but I can't find just the rotor for sale either. Do you know of a source you would be willing to share?
Thanks, Mark

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out. I would still rather buy correct replacements, would anyone recommend a source? I've tried all the usual places I can think of and they don't even list them.
Thanks, Mark

Thanks, I have the large bearing spindle. All my measurements look like the large bearing races would
fit. Maybe I'm overlooking something?

I need to replace the rotors on my 70 GT500. I have a pair of 69 Mustang rotors that measure very close to the originals except for the drop from the rotor face to the back of the wheel mounting face.... see pictures.  It is a difference of about 1/8". Are they acceptable to use or am I missing something else? I can't seem to find any original style replacements, would anyone suggest a supplier? I have searched high and low without success.
Thanks for the help.

Mark, where is your post of your white car with the red interior. I've never seen a Shelby with a red interior. Do they have a name for this red, like they did with the white in calling it Parchment? This red interior was only available on the '69-'70 models?

The only description I can find is "3DA  Dark Red Clarion Knit/Corinthian Vinyl Hi-Back Bucket Seats". I also have a black console which looks to be original unlike the one in the previous post which is red?

Excuse the pictures since I have a good part of the interior out removing old upgrades like a Pioneer stereo etc.

I will check the original invoice and take some pictures when I get home tomorrow. According to the deluxe Marti report there were eight produced with the "Red Knit Vinyl Hi-Back Bucket Seats" of which 4 had the tilt-away steering wheel. Mine was built on 06/09/69.

Good looking! What color is it?

Sorry, we were away for the holiday.

It is Wimbledon White / blue stripe According to Marti one of 4 with a red interior.

#2896 from Tasca Ford. I bought from original owners widow.
