Finally, there will be a top quality properly slotted full floating rotor for the 993TT rotor size --- available in July (undergoing track testing now)

Will look 99% just like this:

The floating rotor is keyed to move laterally during brake application.

I use some sort of 993TT adapted hack job on mine; the slots are deep, are plunge cut at a sharp angle, and extend through both the inner and outer edges - all NOT good attributes and make great places for cracks to go nuts.

Gets centered by the pistons squeezing on both side of the caliper. Track guys like them.

So if you have Big Reds the diameters are the same.
Craig, do you stock a special hat for the 964 T cars?

No, it'd be slick to eventually get one made though - trying to take care of a least a bit of the lack of quality brake rotors for early cars
