Reply to "Sacc Wilwood 6 piston with stock disc conversion"

Tsolo, below is the email I got from Mike Drew. Not sure what else to say.

Note that this is a direct bolt-on replacement for the stock solid front rotor, using the stock Pantera hub and studs. It is microscopically larger in diameter and has nominally the same rotor thickness but the offset is different by a few thousandths of an inch. However, the stock Pantera design features a goof which required them to correct the mistake with a shim between caliper and spindle to center the caliper over the stock disc. By happy coincidence the change in offset is exactly rectified by simply leaving the bandaid shim out.

I believe the part number to order the disc above would be 125-61053CSR and 125-61053CSL for right and left sides, respectively. They might have to be custom-ordered with the slotting as I had to do, but the plain non-cryo non-slotted rotor is readily available with the basic 125-61053 number.

As for pressing the studs in? You didn’t have to pay to have them pressed in. Just assemble the studs, rotor and hub assembly as much as you can, then get open metric nuts of the appropriate size, and some washers.  Install the washers and torque the nuts to 80 ft/lbs. This will draw the studs in until they fully seat.

You could also accomplish this simply by bolting on a wheel and torquing the lug nuts.

These are the rotors I purchased.
