Alistair...
You are a genius and my hero... :)
And, you can still do basic math.... :) x2

All this and a few on this list think we can design
better brakes?

Dennis H.  has a point... with machining a VAG  rotor into a hub.
Ever turn a piece of cast iron and have it shatter
into many pieces on a lathe?
Not a pretty sight....

Sure, a few of these re-machined rotors are now running down the
Highways, testing this new brake part...  :(
As always YMMV...
