Why?


As said above, stock replacement parts are cast iron. Cutting and welding on cast iron requires some special tools and skills. It's sketchy at best.

"mac tilton on top hats for brake rotors" I did a search on this, and didn't find anything.

" cutting the rotor off a brake rotor to use just the hub to mount 2 piece hat and rotors" I'm having a hard time imagining what this would look like?

Do they use the center part of the rotor, and modify that to use as a hat? Or do they attach the new hat/rotor assembly to the cast iron hub?

And why would you do that? Precision center hats are available for just about everything with wheels.

I'm not trying to be an ass. I'v never heard of this, and I'm curious.
