Yes, I do. I believe I have a set on hand as well. I've been busy with my new hybrid project as of late and just started doing some other brake stuff for others. We're getting close to the firing the enigma.

6 lbs per side. I took a test drive in the MO30 swap car (85 with LS1)..... Damn good setup without having to change suspension/spindles/hubs.

I saw the top secret 1GZ twin turbo a while back on a trip to Japan. That is a wild swap you have there! Seriously out of the box! Like to hear more about this!

We took it a few steps further and mated it to the Torque tube and Z06 transaxle. In the Pcar it will be F1 weight distribution.

Bumping this because 996tt rotors are 330 x 34 but have a different offset and hub bore (98mm) than the cheaper Cayenne rotors and require different centering rings. I'll make another batch of these adapters in another week or so, just PM.

Sorry reno, I do not.I posted dims for them if you'd like to make your own.

I am waiting on dims to make the rings for the 996tt rotors. Someone PM' d me that they were 103mm but I have to have the exact flange thickness to get the centering rings inset correctly.

Also I will be building another set of complete ( front and rear) Lexus monoblocks using the Cayenne rotors up front and M030 rotors on the rears. I'll produce a set for the 928 and Late 944/951

Wanted to bump this thread, as I have a request. A distinct lack of time before the next DE has meant that I won't be able to measure/fab a set of caliper adapters up on my own. So, I'm hoping someone who has done this might be able to send me their measurements so that I can have my buddy make me a set.

I'll be mounting 996TT calipers to 330mm Cayenne rotors -- the same as in this thread. Does someone have the dimensions of their caliper adapters handy? Specifically, where (and how) the bolt holes line up on the 1.25" square stock?

I know, pretty lame request considering the adapters are so simple -- just two sets of holes, one of which is tapped. But the next time I'll be in front of my drill press will be who-knows-when, so it'd be great to get this taken care of "remotely".


Thanks in advance!
