Were the front and rear rotors the same on the 76-78 Eldos?     Was that the same rotor that fit the rare option for the RWD cars also?

I thought I read that they were very hard to find but while looking for something else I saw a listing that said they were the same.  As far as I know the fronts have never been hard to find so it would seem odd that they are the same.

The part number was 1490626 for front & rear rotors on 76-78 Eldos. Other models have a different part number.

Thanks.   

I suppose the wheel offset being different would have made the rear rotor different on the RWD cars. 

It must have been pads and calipers that I heard were getting hard to find. 
I only owned one for a short period and never had to work on the brakes.
