[DeTomaso] Info concerning the 6 pistons wilwood

[Ken Green]

The shop making the billet carriers for us is also making and and selling an aluminum billet front hud/hat with the identical 8 on 7 5/8 pattern for the Wilwood rotors commonly used. You just bolt the rotor to the hub.  It's a very nice piece and should solve any issues with the hats and is a direct replacement for the stock hub and Wilwood Pantera hat.
 
I can email photos if anyone wants to see them or you can ask Ike Burrid (burrid1 at netzero.net) about them.

Mike mentioned the fact the center bore on Wilwood hats is a bit too small
(machining a small chamfer is usually all that's required) but no one has
mentioned the other problem with Wilwood rotor hats. The hats are
notoriously un-true. One Vendor told me, he needs to true every single one
he receives from Wilwood. They're pretty cheap, so I guess you get what you
pay for. Wilwood rotors, on the other hand, are very high quality. I wonder
how many people have machined their rotors in order to correct a problem
with the hats ?
