EA81 brake Rotor/lug nut assembly interchange w/EA82?

what's wrong with yours? if you still have stock front brakes for the '82 you have solid front rotors. to change to the vented 83W/84+ style, you need the calipers that go with them.

 

I see the solid rotors on eBay all the time, and I kept them on my 82 so I don't have to deal with vented rotors getting plugged up with mud.

 

the hub with lug nuts just bolts onto the calipers, so if you need to replace that, the ea82 hub should bolt on to the rotor, but may not work if the spline placement is different relative to the mounting point on the rotor. Qman has used a ea81 hub on an ea82 I think to make a certain wheel have a better offset, so it is possible most likely.....

Lost castle nut and the wheel broke of the car. bounced a few times and smacked the hood of another car.

 

Luckily no one was hurt. BRAT is now gimpy, (ie missing driver side wheel)

 

Getting frustrated at the car. Fiance is getting ticked too. :(

 

But like I said NO ONE WAS HURT AND NOTHING WAS BROKEN THAT CAN'T BE FIXED.

 

ahh... there.. that made me feel alittle better.
