Reply to "Installing Brake Kit"

Front brakes installed. 8 pounds lighter per wheel, including 2 pounds less rotating mass. I'll try installing the 15X8" Campagnolo's from the rear on the front tonight, and tighten down the lugnuts to determine if I made a mistake in the installation procedure. It's normal for aftermaket, non-factory rims to use this 15x8" dimension on the front. If it locks against the caliper too, then Plan A is to get some spacers made, so it doesn't keep me off the road and from going to Vegas. I'll buy time like that. Plan B is to rework the entire procedure and see if the solution is to put the rotor hats for the fronts on the outside of the axles. Things have to get fixed the right way, sooner or later, but sometimes a reasonable solution exists for interim demands.
