1le Brake Dimensions
Wondering if anybody has the dimensions of a 1le rotor. I have the material and want to get started on turning some aluminum hubs for my brake upgrade, but using the 1le dimensions.
I know the 1le pushes the wheel out a little further and uses a larger wheel bearing. My search-fu on this site isn't very good.

Re: 1le Brake Dimensions
Thanks JamesC. It's the bearing and race dimensions I'm looking for though. Trying to prevent purchasing a 1LE rotor if I can.

Re: 1le Brake Dimensions
The A6 inner bearing is common to both the standard rotor and the 1LE.
The A3 outer bearing, which the 1LE uses, has a larger OD than the standard A34 bearing.
You might be able to measure them at your local parts store if nothing else.

Re: 1le Brake Dimensions
Thanks JamesC. It's the spacing of the A3 bearing I'm trying to get. I'll get the internal hub measurement for the A6 from my 10.5" rotor. I think I've got the A6 figured out. It needs approximately 0.187" material removed over the standard A34 bearing and bored approximately 0.150" deeper so that the castle nut will sit low enough for the cotter pin to fit in the spindle hole. Just wanted some extra confirmation.

Re: 1le Brake Dimensions
Are you trying to determine the distance from the inside flat (facing outwards of car with race PN) of the A6 to the inside flat of the inside flat (inwards facing with race PN) of the A3?

When going from a set 34 to a set 3 in a std hub the Bore is .100-.120 deeper than the set 34 despite previous info I have wrote. The bore needs to be at 1.966. 965 is a real tight press, a 967 is a rather loose fit but works. Hope this helps for what your doing.
