I'll have to take another look some time. Do I recall the > angled centre made it easier to hold the wheel in place while putting in the lug > bolts? October 72 would have been a '73, or did you mean an October 71? Some of the rotors have a collar machined onto them which fits nicely into the early center hole and makes wheel mounting easier. I think the angled hole doesn't fit as well. It's quite possible that we're not talking about the same things, since words sometimes fail us in these descriptions. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
