Overview
The Baer Brakes 6910163 is a left, one-piece tall hat rotor with a plain friction face, a 12.000 inch outside diameter and a .810 inch thickness. It is the plain-surface version of the tall hat line, and Baer names select Baer brake systems as the application for this rotor.
Plain faces have no slots, drilling or zinc plating, so the surface is the clearest difference from the other tall hat rotors in this range. The center hole is 2.78 and the register is 2.780 inch, so those two numbers are the first to compare on any fitment question.
Key features
- Plain friction face with no slots, drilling or zinc plating
- Full cast, one-piece construction
- Cast iron with Performance grade
- Vented, directional brake surface for the left side
- Curved vane design for cooling
- Dynamic balanced for smooth running
- Five stud/lug holes on a 4.75 inch circle
Plain surface care
A plain face is simpler to clean than a slotted or drilled one, since there are no channels to hold dust or grit. Wipe the friction surface with brake cleaner during pad changes and check for rust that builds up when the vehicle sits. Light surface rust often clears with the first few stops, but deep pitting calls for replacement.
Tall hat rotors put more load on the hub and caliper bracket because the friction ring sits farther out. Check the hub bearing for play and the caliper bracket for cracks before fitting. Replacing the pads together with the rotor keeps braking consistent, and new pads should be bedded in with moderate stops.
- Clean the friction face at each pad change
- Check the hub bearing for play
- Inspect the caliper bracket for cracks
- Use new pads when the rotor is replaced

Vehicle fitment
Fit is specific to select Baer brake systems, so match the rotor to your existing hub and caliper before buying. Confirm fit for your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering. This is a left-side rotor only.
Installation notes
Fit on the left side only, and verify that the 2.780 inch register seats on the hub. A tone ring is not supplied with this rotor, so use the one from your current setup if the system needs it. Have a technician confirm the seating before the vehicle is driven.
What’s included
One left one-piece plain-face rotor, sold as each.
Not included: a brake drum or an ABS tone ring.
