so my eric shea rear hubs are here, and now im just left to find some lug nuts and some five lug rear rotors. The guy i bought my motor from said to just bolt my adapter on and drill it out by hand. Is this a good idea? Is there a rotor from something else that is the same but five lug? THis is for the REAR.

QUOTE or on the inside of the caliper (not recommended) Me disagrees with DD (sorry Pookie) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) I recommend grinding the amount needed off the caliper "IF" it's even needed. I have yet to come across a real world issue here (others post please "IF" you've actually had to clearance the rotor/caliper). After having the calipers apart I can tell you, you'd have to grind pretty far to hit oil. Reasons: 1. The amount needed to grind off the caliper is minuscule at best and, you'll only have to do it once. 2. Grinding (turning down) the rotor will have to be performed every time you get new rotors. 3. Grinding the calipers can be accomplished by one Dan Jauch with a die grinder, Dremel tool or electric drill with the proper bit. 4. Turning down the rotors needs to be done at a machine shop on a lathe ($$). Finally, I recommend getting new 914-6 rotors.
