Brake Rotors

[John]

Question on brake rotors I see cast iron, steel, aluminum.......
I need to replace mine and am wondering which one is the one to get. I am running a birel TO32 in Yamaha Heavy. Thanks -

If I recall, the TO 32 that you are speaking about had a floating disc and it was the very best brake rotor that we ever had. I think there may be two of those items left in the Three Oaks inventory.

If you start changing out the rotor different from original, thenyou wind up working with a different caliper and maybe even an upgrade in the master cylinder. My advice is to stick with what the kart came with. Alum does not do you much good in braking performance.

The new hyraulic mechanical system on the current karts was demonstrated at the factory on a dyno. Original Free LIne pads with Original Free line components showed a 25% performance gain in the length of a race just off the consistancy of the brake system.
Is there anything else?

Garry, Who should I contact to find out what you might have left in your inventoryfor brakes. The TO32 kart I got from MRP several years ago, was a school kart and it does not currently have the floating brake. This is probably the last year for my TO ( before it becomes my spare) which is a shame I absolutely love it. It is so adjustable I can compensate for almost any condition. I wish I could find a new frame for it.Thanks for your help.

Call the office 269-756-9133, I do have dealer with a very nice used, repainted version, which we checked on the flat plate to be square. Let me know if interested in that as well. Garry
