Some years ago I read that brad Roberts was building these hubs that would allow us 4 lug guys the chance to use vented rotors. Apparently for some reason they can't be found anywhere. I have invested $$$ in aftermarket wheels and want to stay with 4 lugs.
Does anyone here have any information about these hubs? Maybe drawings or something, so I can have a set machined. Thanks Zach |

I see that site also has 5 lug variety ! Vented . So would those work with stock calipers? I did the 5 lug conversion using the 4 lug drilled to 5 by Eric shea. So if I wanted to step up to have vented rotors these would work on my front with current set up?- I'm referring to the German ones (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Or a 1978 BMW 320 I caliper. Might need the pad machined. They used vented rotors for 1 year only. |

Man I am rusty with this stuff these days....what rotors worked with the vented and non-vented Volvo 240 calipers? |
