Has anyone replaced the rotors on this kit? It looks like the Wilwood rotors are 12.19 inches not the advertised 12.2 inches on the Flynbye website. Not that I expect 0.01 inches to be a noticeable difference, I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone had the answer while waiting on a call back from Ed.

12.19" is commonly rounded to 12.2"

These are the two piece rotor, right? You should be able to get replacement rings from a number of places. Ed probably gets them from a stock car supply house.

True. I think I'll replace them with an actual Wilwood rotor this time. Even if the original rotor is exactly 12.2 I doubt going down to 12.19 will make a noticeable or measurable change in fitment.

Sounds good. Did you find a Wilwood part number that fits your current hats?

0.01" will not make any difference.

That part was easy. I just called Wilwood and asked them. And then checked it against the catalog.

So what did they check? I don't believe Ed's kit uses a Wilwood hat. So what did they sell you? Do you have a part number?

Ed's instructions list the hat as a 8x7 hat bolt pattern. This makes the rotors a 160-11839 and 160-11840 for the left and right rotor. I'm going to measure and verify the hat bolt pattern and size before placing the order though. I've also got a call in to Ed to ask him what he uses. But it's now been 24 hours with no response so I'm not expecting to hear from him unless I make it a daily habit to call once or twice a day until someone finally answers.

Might also just take one of the rotors and hats to the GoodGuys show in a month and just let the guys at the Wilwood booth sort it out for me in person.
