Aspire front brake swap question

[freshtiva]

Ive got a rebuilt front aspire swap that I was wanting to buy new rotors for. I cant remember if they are off an auto or manual. Anyone got any #s or know how to tell which they are ?

[FB71]

just get manual rotors. Manual rotors fit and work with auto calipers brackets just fine. the other way round does not.

Ok thanks ! But just in case I wanted the thicker vented rotors is there a way to tell the difference ? I probably will get the manuals one, just curious.

I have a front set of rotors off of a manual, if your calipers are auto i'll give them too you if youbut me some manual rotors, and give me a red hatch with all optionsand a clock bezel, and a factory radio with tape player new in box, maybe a passegner LX seat with an underseat tray and a set of LX door cars. I think this is a very reasonable and fair trade. PM me if you are interested.

You owe me bud!

Yeah that sounds like a fair trade . I owe you ? I thought you owed me for helping you pull that sportage motor and making me to push that gaint engine hoist with flat tires around through the parts littered aisles of U pick it.

"Check the large number cast into the top of the calipers. If I remember right the Auto's had a 22 and the manual had an 18 or 20. "



^ wonder if the A in the pic above means auto ??

LMAO you're a funny girl.

I guess, you did helpmewith that motor. But I did put in a new f-250 windshield dirt cheap, in the snow for an ultra low cheap price (even though you helped me). We are even I suppose. I'll get those items out of you, you just wait. Bp swap time is coming shortly...!

BTW all the aspire swaps i have had have been stamed with 22V on them.

That was good of you to put that windsheild in for the inlaws !!! Dont forget those two fine EFI 5 speeds I hooked you up with though. The white one in McCouth Ks and the Blue one in Edwardsville Ks that I robbed all the good parts off of. LOL Or that eclipe front end I picked up for you....eh hem. I pay back favors.

Bring her on up !!!! Whats her major ? No political science majors please, unless they're real hot. :p

[freshtiva]

PS ... does she dig rare festivas options ??

[festivaWES]

^ She is getting a nursing degree, and sorry, no clock bezels/under seat trays don't turn her on. Even in massive quantities.

Spec on the auto Aspire rotors are 22mm-0.860" and 0.817" minimum, the manuals are 18mm-0.710"and 0.660 minimum. So about 5/32" thicker for automatics.
