What hubs are you using?

And did you do anything to them to make them work?

Thank you,

Doug

DW- We turned down the O.D. of the hub ~.300.

Also These do fit under my 16" BBS wheels with a 8mm spacer.

Here are some of those pics.

Duke, your hub looks exactly like mind after I turned it. We had to cut some steppe in the hub to fit under the 993 rotors. I am glad that that seems to be universal with the 993 rotors. Does anybody know what the maximum cut is on a 993 rotor that has been turned? Mine measured out to ~30-31mm.

This is clever! I think I read this on Beamonk's conversion, too.

How about the ID of the 993 rotors and what is the new OD of the hub?

Is it now a press-fit? How do you ensure the rotor is centered about the axis of the hub? Is the rotor then centered within the caliper?

Nice set-up. I have a set of 911 hubs that I started to machine, but never finished as well as some 993 used rotors. If anyone is interested in them let me know. I ended up going with the 930ish front rotor set-up instead.

Any chance you could install these rotors within a 930 caliper?
Sorry for all of the questions. I think this is a very nice upgrade.

Bill - do you know if this would work?

Thank you,

Doug

I have always used aluminum hats, so no I am not sure w/ this setup.

Just noticed that DZ has edited and confirmed that these are 993tt calipers.

The rotors are 993n/a fronts,

first- that caliper will not work right on that rotor
second -that caliper is larger than a 993 front, so the wheels that work will not be the same as for the smaller 993 caliper
third-993 caliper on 2 piece 930 rotors which are also 304x32 work w/ 7" +23.3mm o/s 944 wheels and an ~6mm spacer, or 8" 944 w/o the spacer

one last point,

994tt on the correct 322x32mm rotors need 17" wheels

Bill- What is wrong on the fitment of these rotors to the tt caliper? Is it the centerline of the pistons in relation to the center of the rotor surface? Just curious if I need to find the right caliper, the piston sizes are the same right and the only difference is the pad height? The caliper seems to fit these rotors nicely no more gap at the leading edge of the throat compared to the trailing edge of the throat.

The tt(Big Red) caliper needs a rotor which has a greater diameter than the 993 caliper

993 wants 304mm &#177
Big Red/tt/RS wants 322mm &#177
