So I finally got all my brake stuff together, SS lines on, new hard lines going on, calipers painted and reloaded.
Well, the damn rotor seems to be sitting to far away from the caliper mounter ears. It appears to be an 1/8th of an inch or so off. I went and measured the old rotor and new rotor using the distance from the flat area where the wheel touches to the edge of the rotor itself. See diagram. WTF is going on? These have been drilled for 5 lug, so that complicates the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Attached image(s)

Ya got the wrong rotors. What year's your car?
Early cars take 411 407 075, and 73+ cars take 411 407 075B, identifiable by the centering ring for the wheels, which the early ones don't have. The struts, calipers, and ball joints are different, too. The Cap'n |
