(x-post) Help with brake upgrade!
I'm attempting to install a set of rotors from what I thought was a 951 on my '88 N/A.
I have installed: - late-offset 951 spindles (non-M030), - late-offset 951 (non-M030) calipers - my original hubs BUT: the used rotors I have won't fit over the wheel studs. Am I crazy, or do I need a different hub or rotor? One of the front rotors I have is pictured beside my old N/A rotor from the same corner. The holes are bigger, and there is substantially more offset on the N/A rotor (the N/A rotor will fit under the caliper if mounted, but is obviously too small). The one on the left doesn't look right to me. ![]()

Looks like an early offset rotor to me.

Thanks, guys. Never having had them apart, I didn't know what they looked like, and couldn't account for the different hub-hat relationship. Wrong rotors.
I have a pair of late rotors to try, thanks to someone local. I hate knowing so little about this stuff!

I will. I'm hoping to have it back on the road this weekend, and I'll start a new thread then with some pictures and my impressions.
