Default NE1 ever use the 86 Prospeed BBK?

I got a kit from Paragon and cannot fit the rotor hat onto the back of the hub. It is a thin hat that looks similar to the height of the stock rotor. The problem is the center hole of the hat is smaller than the required size to fit onto the back of the hub. Help!

I would contact Jason, he should be able to help. Paragon customer service is about as good as it gets. IMHO

Jason is trying to reach Michael Wacholz regarding these issues. They hadn't ever fit one up yet.

I was going to say what David said. I hope for your sake that Jason has better luck with Prospeed than some of us did. I know one thing for sure Paragon will take care of you.

My guess is that the hat is not right, though you could have someone enlarge the hole if worse came to worst.

Are you going to be at the PCA club race in March? Provided I dont move I will be.

eclou, place your new rotor hat on top of your existing rotors (both off the car). Does the 5 holes on the stock rotors line up with 5 small holes on the new hat? I had an issue with the hats for my '86 as well. They were drilled with 5 big holes for the wheel-studs like someone thought they fit like the '87+ cars. So I sent them back to Michael to have 5 new smaller holes drilled to bolt it to the back of the hub. I can send you a template if you want to drill your own.
