OK so as I dive into my brakes and suspension I need rotors and drums etc my question to you guys is if cutlass rotors and drums hardware calipers etc will work and if so who can help me out so I don't have to buy new and can help some of you who have helped me

 

The one thing I would say (as I mentioned in my long list of instructions) is that you may be able to get away with just having the rotors and drums turned, and not have to replace them, which will save you money.

true ik lol just want to keep options open to what I can use

 

As for interchangeability, I know NOTHING about those later X-bodies.

I'd suggest checking RockAuto or NAPA - each one has a button you can press once you've found the part you need, which will tell you all of the different cars it fits.

- Eric

 

IMHO, I'd do what Eric says and haul all of them to an auto parts store and just get them cut. Tell them to take as little metal off as possible. There is a 99% chance that they are usable. This would be the least expensive option for you.

 

Ok I'd assume they would because of rim clearance and other stuff but that's why I'm asking you guys xD

 

According to rock auto anything from a 73 cutlass on will work

 

Yea I'm gonna just have them recut what's the range of prices and do they also clean them up as well

 

The last time I got it done it was around $10 per. You need to clean them up.

 

But, really, what's to clean? The outer edge can be chipped off with an old screwdriver, int inner part where the bearings are will be clean, and the friction surfaces will be cleaned up by the lathe.

The outsides of the drums will be rusty, but the outsides of drums are always rusty.
I'd say wire brush and paint them when you paint the rest of the car, and then only if you are using wheels that let you see them.

- Eric

 

Oh I was just wondering I don't want them to look like I pulled them out of a pond I want them to looked used but not like they are gonna fail the first time I use them

 

Like Eric said, a wire brush and some hi temp black engine paint will make them look pretty again. Remember your on a budget.

 

True true well I'm gonna sing off for tonight thanks for everything guys

 

And also remember, you can't see them through those wheels you've got.

If you do a whole lot of work on them, you'll be disappointed because you won't see it when you put the car together.

- Eric

 

I'm thinking most of your parts on this car are interchangeable with the Nova. Some of the other Eric's would probably know this ? So, searching "Chevy Nova" may be another option, especially in junk yards etc...

 

they are although I'm trying to stay strictly Oldsmobile

 

I would think the brake parts are all strictly GM, not strictly Oldsmobile.

 

well ik that lol I mean if I get parts if like to get them from another olds lol

 

Don't get hung up where your parts come from, once you put a Nova brake part on your car it becomes an Omega brake part. Its a wonderful world of interchange!

Touche as long as they don't say chebby

 

Might have GM cast on the part but never a division brand name!
