Think I found a set of rotors to convert my rear D44 to 5 on 5.5. I needed something that would work with the small Caddy rear calipers. The part number is Raybestos 66438--'94 Ford F150 pickup. They measure 1.018 thick X 11.7 over all. Offset is 1.813 (If I know how to measure it??). Hat ID is 6-9/16., which just fits my new Alloyusa axles (6.5 flange OD).
But as always, there is a hitch. The hub pilot ID on the rotor is 3.870, while the axle hub pilot is 2.825. Also, the lug holes measure .675 vs lug OD of 1/2. So, how do I get the rotor centered? My first approach would be bushings for the lugs--that would be pretty easy. Second, I could have a "centering" ring machined to lightly press onto the axle pilot to make it equal the rotors pilot ID. Any one with experience doing this? Big deal? What approach did you take, and what problems did you have with the results?
Appreciate any input or thoughts.
