Re: hub modification for ls1 brake
Have you tried any CNC machine shops, not just automotive machine shops? Easy work for them provided that you already know the final diameter that you are looking for to tell them.
Or even better....Supply them with LS1 rotors for them to physically measure for themselves & to verify the fit before they give the new hubs to you.

Re: hub modification for ls1 brake
I spent over 6 hours (over two days) cutting the "rotors" off and milling the hubs on my brake lathe. IF i ever I ever do it again I'll buy a set of hubs pre-made just so I don't have to deal with it again, good choice zachary3 on waiting I only wish I did.
