sebastienbuick Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 Hello, I have a question, do you know if the brake discs (rotors) of my Electra are the same as the Riviera ( GS ) of the same generation?thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) I Googled "1969 Electra 225 brake rotor" and it took me to the 2017 thread in which you were asking the same thing. Apparently nothing has shown up in the past three years. 😕 But I see the reason for your question. Rockauto shows a rotor for a 1969 Riviera but nothing for an Electra. Hopefully someone with a parts book will be able to answer this question. Have you given Jason's suggestion any consideration? 'Switch to drum brakes.'

Thank you for your response, I had discs made for a Electra custom made by a professional, but there are still adjustments to be made on the new discs.But I wanted to know before doing other boring / machining on my new discs if we could put those of Riviera.I want to keep my disc brakes because it is a rare and original option, I want it to be like when it left the factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
