Hello,
I'm taking the 2800 out of commission for the winter with warped solid discs. Thinking it may be a good time to convert to vented discs if I could find the parts.
1. Both front calipers
2. Both rotors (used ok if they are in good condition)
I think that's all isn't it?

Prefer USA to help keep shipping costs down.

Thanks guys!

Or you could get the spacers and longer bolts to make the calipers wide enough for the vented rotors Hal Boyles of 2002's Only

Tii/6 Cylinder Vented Caliper Spacers | 2002s Only

Includes spacers, bolts, nuts, O-rings, pin and spring kit.There are two versions of the large calipers used on the 60s and 70s BMWs. Please see attached graphic to determine which ones you have. Our spacer kit will fit both the early and late. Because the pad opening is narrower on the early...

you will be in great hands with Hal. quality products and a great recommendation. i would also recommend that when you make this change that you also put stainless brake lines on the front ... or at a minimum, put new brake lines on.

Previous owner of this car was an odd one, he did the hard stuff but didn't finish what seems like the easy part. Disc brake conversion in the back with vented rotors, all new stainless flex lines but never finished with vented up front.
 
Thanks everyone for your help. Rotors at the moment are scarce, rock auto is out of stock. Walloth has them but seemingly very expensive.
I think I'll pop on the 2002 kit for calipers, I don't mind tearing into those. Plus their 5 speed shifter platform is on my shelf looking pretty sweet.

Then hopefully inventory comes back up before spring on the rotors.
