[QUOTE]Do your aftermarket Wilwood calipers use a caliper mounting adapter? If so you could modify that to move the calipers toward the spindle centerline.
For complicated reasons, modifying the existing adapters will not work. I will study the option of wholly new adapters, but am doubtful.

Because my mind is befuddled with liberal, communist, socialist propaganda?
Seriously, there are many owners who do not want or can not afford to go the hat/rotor/adapter/wheels $olution.
As genuine replacement De Tomaso rotors are no doubt rare and priced accordingly, it seems a more affordable solution is a goal worth pursuing. I'm getting closer to doing that, and want to see this through to the end.
Perhaps next Winter, after selling enough GRP 4 tail lights, I'll just toss the whole shebang and go the full route as you suggest.

Yup, same thought I had. I have talked with two owners who also found they had an overhang issue. They just let it be and have not found it to be a problem.
Does anyone know if all four stock rotors were all the same .81 thickness? Where they all the same diameter? I've been told the fronts were thicker and the rears a little larger diameter, but my source said he may have been suffering from CRS syndrome.
