According to Roger, for use with the RPB8001 booster, specs are
1-1/8" bore
9/16" and 1/2" ports on left side

I believe the Bendix casting number is 2225621  

I've got a call back in to Roger but he's not an internet guy sonot sure he's going to be up to date on latest availability of parts.

With Centric going bankrupt, it has thrown a real wrench in the works.  I was able to find a good interchange listing for rotors on parts hawk but not for a m/c yet.

thanks

Over the past few years, I have been creating songs inspired by the different decades of music I have enjoyed throughout my life. For my tribute to the 1950s, I wrote a song about a young man, his girl, and his 1951 DeSoto Custom Convertible. A rainy night, a stalled engine, and a lonely road lead to an unexpected evening neither of them will ever forget.

The song, "Cold Night in My DeSoto," by Michael L Pfeifer, is available on Amazon Music, Apple Music, and most major streaming platforms. If you would like to take a listen, I would be honored.

Here is the cover art I created for the song.

Looking for a 1940 S7 coupe speedometer or can anyone recommend a repair shop to restore the one I have?
