OK, as its gotten cold here and snows coming (supposed to) I decided to tackle my one big project for the Winter......and thats big front rotors.
I got the brackets from Corvette Engineering,13" gas slotted rotors and billet hat from Coleman. The hat is 1/16" more offset than stock, but nothing to big, everything was going well until I realised the center hole is different. The stock rotor has a 2.8" hole and the coleman has a 3.08" hole....which is a problem as the rotor wont center.
My idea is this, to buy two hub centric rings (one for each side) to fit over the spindle ( a 71.5mm to 78mm should work) that should center the rotor before I bolt the wheel on.
Please note that no one actually makes a 13" rotor kit for the C3 vette, so thats why I am trying to engineer this.
Any thoughts, ideas??
thanx
