Default Alcon front rotors

I have a set of used Alcon two piece 360mm front rotors. They have six DE's on them. These are a direct replacement for 996 PCCB cars. They come with bolts and spacers. New price $2400, sell for $800 plus shipping.

Thanks,

Dean

That's a generous price! The Alcons are very popular in the UK, but rarely seen here -- that original price might have something to do with it ...

It might be useful to include the new/current/minimum thicknesses. The photos make it look like they're blued and have circumferential grooves -- better pics might be useful too. Bolts I can understand, but what do the spacers do? Any continuing manufacturer warranty?

Those are good questions, unfortunately I don't have the answers. I don't have a micrometer large enough to measure them. I used a ruler and it said 32mm, obviously this is a ballpark measurement at best. The pictures don't do them justice, yes they have slight grooves and some surface cracking but the grooves are very slight. I'll try and find the answers.

The reason for the spacers are that the original factory rotor diameter is 350mm and these are 360mm.

As per the manufacturer the new thickness is 32mm and the min thickness is 30mm. Mine are very close to 32mm. These will fit a 997 GT3 that came with iron brakes.
