did you need to machine the end of the axle to fit inside the rotor.

If anyone is interested I am getting Brackets laser cut to suit Subaru
Calipers and Hilux front Vented Rotors .

The Brackets will be Engineered Aproved.
If anyone is interested let us know.
Will have a price on just the cutting today but they will have to be machined aswell.


Cheers
