New Day, New Problem, Rotor attachment Options

It looks to me like that at braking there's a heck of alot of shear load imparted into those two 6mm fasteners.

The flat head screws just hold the rotor in place while the wheel is off. I've been running my 914 w/o these screws for several years now. I adjust the venting clearance with the wheel attached. Spin the wheel and adjust until no binding is observed.

On my Audi's there are no little screws and the rotors are free to rotate when the wheel and lugs are removed. Makes putting everything back on quite interesting when the rotor spins a bit and the rotor holes do not line up with the lug threads.

Kevin, the only thing you'll need to check is if their lathe can handle something that wide. It is 4mm off the diameter, or 2mm off the radius. Some lathes are small and don't handle that.

When calling, make it sound like the really simple job it is.

Bryan, as mentioned before the thickness has never been a problem. That drag should go away in a few miles. I'd rather have that there than reduce the overall life of the rotor. If it concerns you them have them turned to the 914 size but if it were me, I'd drive it around the neighborhood and recheck.

Thanks Eric. I have a correction to make. The Pelican article states the 914-6 disks are 15mm thick. However, I measured one of my new Sebro 914-6 disks tonight at just 10.5mm. Hence, like you said, the thickness should not be an issue.

Makes sense... 15mm is only 5mm off a vented rotor. That would be thick.
