Brake rotor catalog/database?

Does anyone know of a brake rotor catalog or database that lists the rotors by their physical dimensions?

I've got a re-enginered purpose for some Jeep Cherokee spindles/hubs/rotors and they are 11" however I need to fit a rotor that is 10.00-9.80 to not interfere with a ball joint mount on the control arm.

Dimensions of the current rotor are

5x4.5 bolt pattern: 3" overall depth from hub to back of rotor 11" OD, needs to be 10.00 or less 7/8" rotor thickness 2-7/8 hole in the center hub

I'd like to find another rotor to put on this application if possible, otherwise i'm going to have to find someone willing to take the OD off of the existing rotors wich sounds like it could get expensive.

Looks like 5x4.5 was pretty common on Chryslers and Ford....how about these rotors from a Ford Probe? 10.4" diameter. No idea on the thickness or hole size though.

I think you just have to dig - turns out the 240SX rotors (five lug) are near the Amazon - worked great for Lemons.

brembo has a catalog on their homepage

Tried that...couldn't get it to work.

EBC has a dowloadable catalog that lists diameters of rotors. It's a .pdf file. Also, check with some of the local parts stores. they should have catalogs that list diameters, bolt patterns, thickness, and other measurements.

I went down this same road- only in the opposite direction. I needed to make up a vented front brake kit with 5X4.5 to match the Ford 8.8 rear end I put in my TR8. I ended up using those Jeep Cherokee rotors on the front and the Explorer set up on the rear. Now I have brakes designed to stop a SUV on a 2300 pound sports car. I found a ton of info from some Chinese manufacturer that listed all of the measurements.(19 pages worth) I down loaded it and took it to the auto parts store to verify my findings. I'll try and find it and post the site. I think you are going to have a hard time finding anything that small with a five lug bolt pattern. Most cars with small rotors are four lugs. You could always redrill.

Is the hat part of the rotor to big in diameter that you can't just turn the od down?

The link I posted was for the front rotors for a first generation probe. The GT models came with 4 wheel discs. If the front rotors are 10.4" in diameter I'd be willing to bet that the rear rotors might work for you. They have the right bolt pattern and should be less than 10" diameter.

Check rear brakes for Mazda MX-6 as well.

Damn, looks like the rear rotors are 10.2" dia just like the fronts.

Found a local shop that will take the OD down to my specsfor 40 bucks a pair.....suppose I couldnt beat that.

If anyone has a catalog, or .pdf of the various setups out there I'd appreciate it, as I don't know if my solution is going to work.

I found the 19 pages of print out on brake dimensions I have, but it doesn't show the site I got it from on the paper. It came from a Chinese place called EU Carparts Industry. I searched for a while and couldn't find the site again. It shows dimensions and OEM part numbers but not the vehicles. Maybe someone else will stumble across it.

Are you leaving the caliper alone and just turning the rotor down? Or are you going to change the caliper mounting at all? Just curious. Also, what project is this for? Where are the pics?

For the time being I'm leaving the caliper alone and just turning the rotor down. Figure I'll loose about 30-40% of my front breaking capacity vs the stock cherokee setup.....but since I weigh less than half as much and go slower I'm not too worried.

This is going into a Jacobsen utility vehicle.....i'm fabing/modifying the front suspension for more travel and real brakes, as well as making the whole thing faster.

Has a 4cy ford engine, T4 transmission, D44 rearend.....hydraulic dump bed and steering, will be a fun toy. I need to devote a build site to it.
