I know Mueller was involved in doing this, and Mark as well, but are they still available?
Also were they ever machined for the rear? And curious how the rotor bolted (or was fitted) to the hubs. |

If any are available, they're in Brad's hands. The rotor is a stock 911 piece and bolts on from the back with five M8 bolts. The real intent of the pieces was to install larger calipers and vented rotors on a four lug setup.
I thought you already had five lug? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) The rear is always done by drilling the stock hubs. |

Or maybe someone has a CNC to machine them in aluminum, with bolt on rotors, or titanium? Titanium would be super light, but probably big $$ I'm guessing. I just wonder what a Titanium hub, with a titanium rotor would weigh? |
