Front Rotor Rivets

[The73vetteman]

I am replacing my front rotors, and I just want to check this: I've drilled out the rivets to seperate rotors from hubs. I do NOT need to replace the rivets, do I?

'73,
I'm in the process of doing this to my '70 as well. You can find a wealth of information on the subject from CAC members by searching the past few threads I've started on the subject.

To answer your question, the rivets are not necessary. You can simply do without them, re-rivet them, or use bolts to secure them as some members here have. Hope this helps!!

No, you don't need to replace them. The originals were there just as a manufacturing aid.

Make sure you measure and correct any runout on your new rotors.
