Front hat play to rotor

[Nditiz1]

So while going through getting some front 993 brakes sorted I noticed that the hub/hat was loose from the rotor. There was maybe ~.1mm of play. Not much, but enough that I can feel it. I recently read that this amount of play is ok, but then I also read to torque it down to 6ft lbs. I have never worked with floating rotors before so any expert info on this would be appreciated. I also read that some replace the hardware and some don't. Unfortunately it doesn't look like anyone has a hardware kit to refresh that. Are these stretch bolts? Should I just clean them up and reuse?

993 owners?

Assuming you have stock 993tt front rotors then there should be no play at all, they are not floating they are hard bolted

Thanks Bill, yes they are 993TT ones. I reassembled and torqued everything to 6ft lbs, no more play.
