I've got an Eric Shea v-caliper kit, and 911 rear vented rotors. For the caliper to fit, 4mm has to be taken off the radius of the rotor.
I'm wondering if I can make an adapter to move the caliper 4mm outward, so the rotors will fit un-modified. I don't like having to have my rotors machined every time I change them, and they're also balanced using divots in the edge. The balancing divots would be mostly/totally erased if I take off 4mm. I realize it wouldn't be easy... I'd have to move the hole for the inner adjuster, and maybe move the parking brake cable mount. Is there anything else to consider that I'm not thinking of? (there seems to be plenty of clearance between the caliper and the inside of the wheel) |
