Looks very unique. That is a lot of work for the money. Well done. You just made replacing rotors for the '86 lighter, much cheaper and easier. Well done.

not sure if it was my post or Robert's that you're referencing....

but just in case, with my 968's rear calipers, i'm not sure if they are the same as the 951.

from Robert's pics, they look the same.

I'm working on the hats for 100% bolt-on option for the EArly NA and 924's to mount the M030 calipers without any mods or parts swap.

I would personally be very interested in a bolt on lexus ls430/boxster s rotor option for 86 turbos. I know lots of other guys would too, there are a lot of 86 951's out there.

The LS430 caliper can NOT be used because the turbo spindle ear spacing (94mm) would not allow an adpter for the LS430 caliper radial bolts.

A solution for 86T would be to swap in the early strut/spindle/hubs......The Hubs are much stronger than 86T hubs.

To keep the 86T hubs/spindles/struts you could build a larger rotor/hat and mount Wilwood SL4R's or Sl6R's and adapter would work since the radial spacing on those are 5.98"

LOL, I just realized I sold these months ago. After 15 or so different brake combos, I stopped counting.

BTW the hats/rotors I'm working on are 309mm x 32 and 13lbs total. The M030 rotors are smaller dia at 304mm but weigh 19lbs.
