I am back with old problem how to find disc rotors for 1968 olds 98. Am not sure the one at Summit Motors SUM BR 66000L fit to this rear car. I need also caliper mounting Bracket for right side. Any anybody advise?

 

Those rotors will NOT work on your 68 98. The front discs are terribly hard to find for the pre 71 B/C bodies. As far as I know they aren't reproduced. You will either have to get NOS parts or find some in a salvage yard. Hopefully you can have your rotors turned by a shop.

FWIW, I also remember a company that provided aftermarket conversions for these cars with a little bit of machining and off the shelf parts. It's worth searching our forums.

As far as the brake calipers go you are only going to find those in a salvage yard. Also, even if your car has front discs it has drum in the rears.

 

Id love to know if anyone has the dimensions of the knuckle/spindle - particularly the height between the ball joints, etc... a mechanical drawing would rule

 

I have one last pair of N.O.S. Original Kelsey Hayes Front Disc Brake HUB & ROTORS for a 1967 - 1968 Oldsmobile Full Size with Factory Disc Brake -- with the 4 - piston calipers, of course......
I also have some N.O.S. ++ Asbestos ++ Brake Pads for this application -- that you --- M U S T --- use, because you don't want to rip up these HUBS & ROTORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will not be able to use the computer for two weeks --- Good Friday & Easter this weekend -- the Library is closed -- and I am in Carlisle, Pa. for the big car show -- Spring Carlisle -- this coming week.


CALL ME -- Craig -- 516 - 485 - 1935 .... Long Island, New York....

 

I just noticed that you are overseas -- well, I don't want to make you call me -- that could be very expensive -----
Is there ANYONE you know that is coming over to Spring Carlisle -- that could pick these up and take them back with them --- that would save you a ton of money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course, time is limited to make that happen -- I leave for there Monday night!!!!!!!!
These HUB & ROTOR ASSEMBLIES ------ DO NOT ------ exist on Planet Earth
----- I guarantee that these are the ONLY NEW ones in the Universe!!!!!!

 

You weren't asking -- but I'll volunteer that I also have N.O.S. ++ Asbestos ++ Rear Brake Shoes -- and BRAND NEW N.O.S. Rear BRAKE DRUMS!!!!!!!!
and these fit -- ONLY -- 1965 - 1969 OLDS 98 s as they beefed them up for those 5 years -- to 11" x 2 1/2" , not 11" x 2"........


Don't you wish you lived next door to me?????????????

 

So you have any spindles/steering knuckles?

 

NO -- I have nothing USED.....
In Long Island, New York -- there is no cutting up of cars -- you can do that in Buffalo, we CAN NOT do that on Long Island........
You N E E D parts car..............

 

I was looking to obtain dimensions. And I see no reason why a salvage yard would be any different between Buffalo and Long Island.

 

The difference is ----- THERE ARE NO SALVAGE YARDS in Long Island, New York....... our real estate is too pricey...... we are houses and lawns.....
BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIg difference.

 

hmmm

 

Really guys?
