Thread: Source for cast iron plate?

  1. #1
    Anyone have a source for 3/16 or 1/4 cast iron plate for brake rotors? Tried all our usual source and came up empty.

    Thanks

    Brake rotors from junkyard. It's hard to find non-ventilated ones big enough, but a lot of trucks and older VW vanagons had them (9 or 10 inch?). All you have to do it turn them off the hub to fit.

    Give these guys a call. They might not have it but they have been great about calling around and finding anything we have asked them for.

    I looked around for a long time and found no results. Just buy solid round and saw or lathe it into disks.

    If your school had a foundry you could get a class to cast you some for free

    We have a lot of manufacturing and machining research in our department and we managed to source some off them.

    Maybe if your uni has a materials and metalurgy department that might be worth a look?

    Brian, thats brilliant. You're acutally the third person to recomend that. As much as I'd like to try it out, I got some slices of Durabar coming in Friday, so we're set.

    Thanks for all the suggestions
