Hi Guys,
I ran into a whole new set of problems. The instructions say that if you have A-100 hubs the hubs do not need to be turned down as they will fit into the rotors. The problem is that there is no way to center the rotors on the hubs as the lug bolt holes are .010 smaller then 5/8" and the lug bolts are 1/2". You can see in the pictures how I solved the problem. To start with I drilled the holes in the hub and rotor out to 5/8" and matched lug bolts of that diameter. I am using NAPA p/n 641-1579 lug bolts that are for a 94 - 99 Dodge 1500 1/2 ton pick-up. The thread size is standard 1/2" Notice in the pictures that the collar on the bolts extend out beyond the face of the hub. The collars stick into the rotor snuggly and centers the rotor. I still have no idea what my D-100 is doing with A-100 hubs on it.

Hope this helps somewhere out there facing the same problem.

Jim

I'm standing in line with everyone else waiting for an eight-lug kit. Thanks for the info.
