Re: True C5 Rear Disc w/ internal parking brake in the works
FedEx dropped off the rotors... after looking at it, the inside of the rotor is machined to about 6.25. Our axles are a tad over 6.5. While staring at the two, I was thinking instead of turning the entire axle down to fit the rotor, just turn the outer edge (of the face), like a chamfer that fits within the stock rotor. Along with that turn the center register to fit the stock rotor. Sounds like it would be better so there would not be any extra costs each time the rotor needs replacing. I am going to the machine shop tomarrow to see what their advice is and costs involved. ... anywhoo, I loaded AutoCad Inventor 2010 so I wll post up a 3d of what I had in mind.

edit:
heres a rendering of the axle mod that I was describing..
