>>>FWIW, the hats you checked are mounted in the rear of my car.   The hats 
that are in the front, were previously on the car.   I had enormous brake 
runout on both front and rear with those circa-1993 Wilwood hats; turning the 
rear rotors on the car made a huge difference.

While the current ones may have improved, the earlier ones left something 
to be desired.   Marino once told me that the center hole was machined just 
slightly too small and they wouldn't index properly on the hubs, a problem 
that was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye.
