Only so many rotors use that bolt pattern. The odds of any integral hat &
rotor assembly having the correct bearing spacing and running the correct bearings that dimensionally also fit those spindles is probably a pretty long
shot. (let alone all the other specs to use a 4 piston caliper, etc.)

Wilwood side-steps the issue by using a custom hub....
