Hi, my names Carl, long time lurker. Loving the forum, hoping someone may have done this swop and have the answers.
Managed to find myself a set of carbon brakes, rotors pads etc etc

Stripped the car down and cleaned up the old set etc, unsure whether I will sell these yet or stash them away safe for when the Nurburgring track days are upon us.
All covered in a cleaning agent and ready to wash down

At this point I stripped out the old units and put them aside

As you can imagine I am like a kid in a candy store and can't wait to get the new units all bolted up, that's when I hit a little issue, unsure what they are called but basically the five lugs that go through the steel rotors will not fit through the bells on the carbon set up, as you can imagine, I was gutted.

Has anyone done the conversion, I take it I can buy replacements of these that are a smaller diameter from the dealers.
Bugger.
Carl
