Installed trailing arm on 914-4 that came from member bdstone914 (Bruce).
I called him, just a while ago because the rotors I'm trying to use don't seem to want to fit flush up against the hub. Using 901-352-401-18 rotors, which are for a 914-6. Bruce suggested that the hub may have swelled up from the studs being pressed in and said I may need to file the hub down around the edges. I guess that sounds OK, but upon further inspection... I see that there is a small lip (ridge) inside of the rotor. Hard to explain, but if you flip the rotor over and look inside where the hub should fit flush, there is a ridge on the inside face that seems to be maybe 1/16 th of an inch all around. Is that ridge supposed to be there to act as sort of a centering ring? Filing down the hub is a bit daunting. Any thoughts / experience / help? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Thanks, Len |
